1. The breeze of Hejaz at dawn
When it comes to me with its fragrance

2. Is more delightful to me than what my hands grasped
Of jewels, wealth, and the full moon

3. And the kingdom of Chosroes, I do not desire when
The face of the beloved is absent from my sight

4. It watered the tents that were set up for
The drink of companionship and the rain shower

5. Abodes where the full moons rise in them
Covered in the darkness of hair

6. White and brown, their dwellings are protected
By absent lions, white and brown

7. My heart was captivated by one of their maids
Intoxicated with eyes lined with kohl

8. She shows you from her mouth when she smiles
A cup of wine surrounded by pearls

9. She lent the gazelle the magic of her eyes
And the lion of valor spent the night cautious

10. Lively, gentle, charming, beautiful
Her beauty shames the splendor of the moon

11. Oh she set the fire of love ablaze in my liver
Shooting my heart with arrows of embers

12. Oh if not for dreams visiting me
I would have spent my night wailing and awake

13. Oh how many ordeals have I endured
And battled with the well-memorized speech

14. The horses, black of face, sturdy,
Swim in the sea of destruction and danger

15. I resist tribulations for you and cannot
Endure resisting destiny and fate
