وَغَزالٍ مُقَرطَقِ

وَغَزالٍ مُقَرطَقِ

ذي وِشاحٍ مُمَنطَقِ

ذي وِشاحٍ مُمَنطَقِ

And a gazelle clad in a tunic,

With a sash, girdled at the waist—

زَيَّنَ اللَهُ خَدَّهُ

زَيَّنَ اللَهُ خَدَّهُ

بِعِذارٍ مُعَلَّقِ

بِعِذارٍ مُعَلَّقِ

God adorned his cheek

With a hanging fringe of down.

لَم أَكُن فيهِ بِدعَةً

لَم أَكُن فيهِ بِدعَةً

كُنتُ مِمَّن بِهِ شَقي

كُنتُ مِمَّن بِهِ شَقي

I was not the first to love him;

I was among those who suffered because of him.

يا مُحِلَّ السَقامِ بي

يا مُحِلَّ السَقامِ بي

خُذ مِنَ الحُبِّ ما بَقي

خُذ مِنَ الحُبِّ ما بَقي

O you who bring sickness upon me,

Take what remains of love.
