1. The phantom promised a meeting one night
If only he would keep his promise faithfully

2. Oh, she is a tender branch in paradise
God made her a seduction for my misery

3. The gazelle’s eyes when they are lowered
Are darker than the white gazelles

4. How many were smitten by her glance
And perished by her kohl-lined eyes

5. How can I not seek a share from her
When her arrow has pierced my insides

6. How many lovers has she abandoned
Slim in body, yet lifeless

7. She left me drenched in my tears
Nay, a slain man, not dipped in my blood

8. She warned me against her abandonment
And by my life, her warning was but temptation

9. When asked to describe her, I said a gazelle
In her glances, in her teeth and radiance

10. Neither Saad nor Hind competes with her
No, nor Zeinab, but Asma

11. I'll not forget the night she visited me
Secretly, fearing the enemies

12. She came while darkness donned a black robe
Appearing in a blue dress

13. So companionship seemed radiant and wondrous
How can the sun hide when it shines in the sky?
