1. A glance of the doe-eyed maidens' eyes enthralled me
Khalfa the falconer saw not the signs

2. And the glance fell upon my heart to behold it
And set aflame my heart like the ever-burning torch

3. Turn away from me, O tyrant glance so gentle
Tormentor of my heart, though with injustice filled

4. My love, your turning away from me was painful
Send the arrows of yearning, do not hesitate

5. Send the spears of passion and raise the swords
My heart desires you at every moment

6. My eyes upon the beauty of another, how unfaithful!
In my eyes, none compare to your beauty
