1. Behind the houses of the neighborhood I sing
Within them are Hindi and she is charming

2. And my heart's beloved is Hindi among her peers
So they peered through the windows of the houses

3. She had pierced arrows in each heart that loved her
And said - oh, where did this young man come from?

4. Is he from Tihama or Najd?
And in his words is eloquence and clarity

5. And from his sides glory used to drip
