A slender and magical-eyed one

وشادن مكتحل بسحر

1. A slender and magical-eyed one
Whose eyelids are intoxicated without wine

١. وَشادنٍ مُكْتَحِلٍ بِسِحْر
أَجْفانُهُ سَكرى بغيرِ خَمْرِ

2. More gentle than gently flowing water
He has power over me beyond my own will

٢. أَرَقُّ مِنْ رِقَّةِ ماءٍ يَجْري
أَمْلك بي مِنِّي وَلَيْسَ يَدْري

3. It's as if he kills me by my own command
I've decided I cannot restrain myself from him

٣. كَأَنَّهُ يقْتُلُني بِأَمْري
آلَيْتُ لا أَمْلِكُ عنهُ صَبري

4. Or regain my past life
I blamed him before dawn's rise

٤. أَوْ أَسْتَرِدَّ ما مَضى مِنْ عُمْري
نادَمْتُهُ قَبْلَ طُلوعِ الفَجْرِ

5. In a moon like the son of the full moon
In the light of union and darkness of separation

٥. في قَمَرٍ كَأَنَّهُ ابْنُ بَدْر
في ضَوءِ وَصْلٍ وَظَلامِ هَجْرِ

6. It's as if, when I measured him in my thoughts
He missed being four months

٦. كَأَنَّهُ إِذْ قِسْتُهُ بِفِكْري
لِأَرْبَعٍ تَخَلَّفَتْ مِنْ شَهْرِ

7. In his height and width in moderation
What befell me of harm befell him

٧. في طُولِهِ وَعَرضِهِ بِفِتْر
حَلَّ بِهِ ما حَلَّ بي من ضُرِّ
