1. كيفَ حَرَّمتَ عَلى جَفني الوَسَن

    هَكَذا مِن فَرضِ الحُبِّ وَسَن

    How have you forbidden slumber to my eyelid?

    Such is love’s law and custom.

  2. يا غَزالاً حَلَفَت مُقلَتُهُ

    أَنَّها تَشهَرُ أَسيافَ الفِتَن

    O gazelle whose eye has sworn

    that it will brandish the swords of temptation!

  3. قُل لِخَدَّيكَ مَتى كانَ الحَيا

    لِجَحيمِ النارِ رَبعاً وَوَطَن

    Say to your cheeks: when was rain

    a dwelling and a homeland for blazing fire?

  4. كَلَفٌ كَلَّفَنيهِ جامِعٌ

    مِن صَبابات غَرامي كُلُّ فَن

    A passion he has burdened me with, encompassing

    every kind of my love’s longing.

  5. مُذ هَوَيناكَ عَلِمنا أَنَّ في

    مَركَز الإسَلام عَبّادَ الوَثَن

    Since we loved you, we have learned that within

    the heart of Islam are worshippers of the idol.
