1. غُضّي جُفونَ السِحرِ أَو فَاِرحَمي

    مُتَيَّماً يَخشى نِزالَ الجُفون

    Lower your bewitching eyelids, or else have mercy

    On a lovesick man who fears the duel of eyelids.

  2. وَلا تَصولي بِالقَوامِ الَّذي

    تَميسُ فيهِ يا مُنايَ المَنون

    And do not attack with that figure

    In which death sways, O my heart’s desire.

  3. إِنّي لَأَدري مِنكِ مَعنى الهَوى

    يا جولِيا وَالناسُ لا يَعرِفون

    Indeed, through you I know the meaning of love,

    O Julia, while others do not know.
