1. In the evening when her beauty was unmatched
My heart was pierced by the bright spear
١. وَعَشِيَّةٍ مَا كَانَ آنَقَ حُسْنُهَا
تَبَلَتْ فُؤَادِي بِالسَّنَا الْوَضَّاحِ
2. She cast upon the garden a dress of tranquility
Calling the confidant of passion to rejoice
٢. خَلَعَتْ عَلَى الْبُسْتَانِ حُلَّةَ عَسْجَدٍ
نَدَبَتْ حَلِيفَ الْوَجْدِ لِلْأَفْرَاحِ
3. So the branches swayed and embraced
Enraptured by the nightingales' melody
٣. فَلِذَا الْغُصُونُ تَمَايَلَتْ وَتَعانَقَتْ
طَرَباً بِشَدْوِ بَلاَبِلِ الأَدْواحِ
