ياO غَزالاًgazelle يَرِقُّis delicate خَصراًin waist وَطَبعاًand in nature
يا غَزالاً يَرِقُّ خَصراً وَطَبعاً

حينَ هَزَّ القَوامَ والأَعطافا
O gazelle, slender of waist and gentle of nature,
Oh gazelle with the slender waist and gentle nature
when you swayed your figure and flanks.
When you sway your hips and bend your frame
ماnot حَكىmatched الغُصنُthe branch مِنof قَوامِكَyour figure ليناًin suppleness
ما حَكى الغُصنُ مِن قَوامِكَ ليناً
وَاِعتِدالاًand in straightness نَعمyes حَكاهُit matched it اِنعِطافاin bending
وَاِعتِدالاً نَعم حَكاهُ اِنعِطافا
The branch did not match your figure in suppleness
The supple branch cannot describe your graceful poise
or straightness; yes, it matched it in bending.
Though it tries, how it tries, to emulate your lithe form as it sways
