بأبي غزالٌ صَدَّ بعدَ وِصالهِ
وزَهاand was haughty عليَّtoward me بحُسنِهِbecause of his beauty وجمالِهِand his loveliness
وزَها عليَّ بحُسنِهِ وجمالِهِ
A gazelle—may my father be his ransom—turned away after our union.
And lorded his beauty and loveliness over me.

سَلبَ الكرَى عَيني وألبَسَها الكَرى
وحَمىand barred خَياليmy dreaming self مِنfrom لقاءِmeeting خيالِهِhis phantom
وحَمى خَيالي مِن لقاءِ خيالِهِ
He stole sleep from my eye and clothed it in sleep.
And barred my dreaming self from meeting his phantom.
