بأبي من رنت وماست دلالاً

بأبي من رنت وماست دلالاً

ربة الحسن والمحيا البديع

ربة الحسن والمحيا البديع

May my father be ransom for her who gazed and swayed coquettishly,

By the one whose soul yearned and was smitten with love,

Mistress of beauty and exquisite countenance.

The epitome of beauty and radiant complexion,

لا تقل كالغزال والغصن قداً

لا تقل كالغزال والغصن قداً

لا ولا البدر فهي ستّ الجميع

لا ولا البدر فهي ستّ الجميع

Do not say she is like the gazelle or the bough in stature—

Say not that she's like a gazelle or branch in stature,

No, nor the full moon, for she is mistress of them all.

Nor like the full moon, for she surpasses all.
