بمهجتي الرشأُ المكحول ناظرهُ

بمهجتي الرشأُ المكحول ناظرهُ

بالسحر والظبي سحارٌ بعينيه

بالسحر والظبي سحارٌ بعينيه

My lifeblood for the fawn whose eye is kohl-darkened

The beautiful wine shines in my thrilled soul

With magic; and the gazelle casts spells with his eyes.

Magic and gazelle - an enchanter in his eyes

ميم المدامة تروي ميم مبسمه

ميم المدامة تروي ميم مبسمه

فواشتياقي لري بين ميميه

فواشتياقي لري بين ميميه

The mīm of wine quenches the mīm of his smiling mouth.

Mim of wine irrigates mim of his smile

So, oh, how I long to slake my thirst between his two mīms!

So my yearning for his saliva between my meems
