1. For a gazelle with stern, gazing eyes
That captivated with her charming look

2. In Arafat I knew well what she wanted
Yet I could not be patient

3. And on the eve we gathered as told
In the well-known parable

4. A girl’s oath is an oath so do not
Trust the treacherous

5. I got her wishes one by one if only
They would last till the end of time

6. I craved the one whose radiant smile
Shows you the full moon's splendor

7. She flirted, then poured with morning draught
And stoned the rock with a stone

8. She smiled at a flashing light swifter
Than a fleeting thought

9. Waters of anguish flowed from her sorrow
For her love of a charming man

10. She appeared with the posture of a gazelle
Picking precious pearls

11. She wandered in the barren valley
Beware of the slumbering lion

12. With peace she surrendered my passion
To her deadly languorous glance

13. She inspired with passion and twisted with craving
Like her raptor's crushing embrace

14. And in curing her affair she strove
To escape from the claw of the bird

15. Her slender neck rising to the sky
Transcends the beholder's sight
