وظبيةand a gazelle حسنٍbeauty تيمتنيenslaved me بحبهاwith love for her
وظبية حسنٍ تيمتني بحبها
وزادand increased التهابيmy burning passion عجبهاher self-admiration ودلالهاand her coyness
وزاد التهابي عجبها ودلالها
And a lovely gazelle enslaved me with love for her;
And her vanity and coyness intensified my burning passion.
فبسبستso I called coaxingly ماnot حنتshe cried with longing وحركتand I roused للهوىfor love
فبسبست ما حنت وحركت للهوى
حواراًa camel-calf فماyet not درّتshe yielded milk وعزّand proved elusive وصالهاunion with her
حواراً فما درّت وعزّ وصالها
So I coaxed her, but she gave no yearning cry; for love I roused
A camel-calf, yet she yielded no milk, and union with her proved elusive.
