جَادَ الأَمِيرُ بِصَيدِهِ

جَادَ الأَمِيرُ بِصَيدِهِ

فَدَعَتْ هَدِيَّتهُ ثنَائِي

فَدَعَتْ هَدِيَّتهُ ثنَائِي

The prince was generous with his catch.

The prince returned with his hunt

And his gift called forth my praise.

His gift invited my praise

يَا طِيبَهُنَّ حَمَائِمَاً

يَا طِيبَهُنَّ حَمَائِمَاً

عَلَّمَتْنِي حُسْنَ الوَفَاءِ

عَلَّمَتْنِي حُسْنَ الوَفَاءِ

How lovely they are, those doves!

"You gentle doves, so tame and true

They taught me the beauty of faithfulness.

Have taught me faithfulness anew."

آوَيتُهُنَّ إلى الحَشَا

آوَيتُهُنَّ إلى الحَشَا

فَمَلأْنَ رَأْسِي بِالغِنَاءِ

فَمَلأْنَ رَأْسِي بِالغِنَاءِ

I sheltered them within my bosom.

In the garden I gave them rest

And they filled my head with song.

And they filled my head with song.
