You swore by the two curls that guaranteed

نذرك بالغوطتين قد ضمنت

1. You swore by the two curls that guaranteed
Their growth a quarter and their abode

١. نذركَ بِالغوطتَيْنِ قَد ضَمِنَت
ربْوَتُهَا رَبْعَهُ ومَقْراها

2. Let the sun shine on her from your forehead, for she
Desires none but it to open her eyelids in sleep

٢. أَطْلِعْ لَها الشَّمسَ مِن جَبينِكِ لَم
تَرجُ سِواها في النّومِ جَفْناها

3. So the horses are images rushing to their battle
And a plaything in the abode of her amusement

٣. فَالخَيلُ صور إِلى تَساهُمِ سَهمَي
ها وملهى في بيتِ لِهْيَاهَا

4. The rule of one to whom the country is submissive
And whose shade enveloped and enriched it

٤. دَولَةُ مَن دانَتِ البَلَدُ لَهُ
وَعَمّها ظِلُّهُ فَأَغناها

5. By none other does its splendor befit
Nor does it seek any but his protection

٥. لا بِسِواها تَليقُ بَهجَتُها
وَلا سِواهُ تَبغي رَعاياها
