قولا لِغَزالٍ أَلفَ البانَ مَعي

قولا لِغَزالٍ أَلفَ البانَ مَعي

ما أَحسَنَ لَو رأَيتُك الآن مَعي

ما أَحسَنَ لَو رأَيتُك الآن مَعي

You two, tell a gazelle who grew fond of the bān tree with me:

Tell a gazelle who grazed with me,

How lovely it would be to see you with me now!

How lovely it would be if I saw you with me now.

ما فارَقَ أذيالك وَاللَهِ يَدي

ما فارَقَ أذيالك وَاللَهِ يَدي

لَو قَلبيَ إِذ هَجَرتَني كانَ مَعي

لَو قَلبيَ إِذ هَجَرتَني كانَ مَعي

By God, my hand would not have let go of your hems,

By God, my hand did not leave your train.

if my heart had been with me when you forsook me.

If only my heart, when you left me, had gone with you.
