I have been afflicted by him, Hijazi by name;
My soul is afflicted with love for a Hejazi maiden
With the spear of his stature, he has taken to waging war.
Whose slender form fights with a spear.

He made me lose my heart in my love for him,
She has stolen my heart with her glances -
With a glance that struck fiercely in single combat.
Eyes that she raised on the battlefield.

وقلبي ضاع في طرف الحجاز
And among love’s wonders: my body is in Egypt,
How strange is love's power over my body,
While my heart is lost at the edge of the Hijaz.
While my heart is lost to a glance from Hejaz.
