A beauty, from the slender, flexible branches,

وفاتنة من الغيد الغواني

1. A beauty, from the slender, flexible branches,
Her beauty adorns her with garments of bliss.

١. وَفاتِنَةٍ مِن الغيد الغَواني
كَساها حُسنها حلل النَعيمِ

2. I was passionately in love with her, as was my heart,
With the charms of the slender, tall, upright one.

٢. شُغفت بِها كَما شَغفت فؤادي
مَحاسِنُ أَهيفِ القدِّ القَويمِ

3. When my affliction and love for her grew,
And love toyed with the forebearing one.

٣. فَلمّا أَن دَرت كلفي وَوَجدي
بِهِ وَالحُبُّ يَعبَث بِالحليمِ

4. She came towards me coquettishly while angry,
And asked me about the great news.

٤. سَعَت نَحوي دَلالاً وَهيَ غَضبى
تُسائِلُني عَن النَبأ العَظيمِ

5. And said what is his name, so I feared blame,
And said, your ransom, do not blame me.

٥. وَقالَت ما اِسمهُ فَخَشيت لَوما
فَقُلتُ لَها فَدَيتك لا تَلومي

6. For my heart, his name, and my love for you,
Are safe, in safe, in safe.

٦. فَقَلبي وَاِسمهُ وَهَواك عِندي
سَليمٌ في سَليمٍ في سَليمِ
