صليني يا مهاة الابرقين
فأنت ملية بقضاء ديني
Join me, O gazelle of al-Abraqayn,
Pray for me, O swift Maha,
for you are well able to settle my debt.
For you are prompt in fulfilling my wish.
بناضر قدك النشوان عطفاً
على ولهان ساهي الناظرين
By the radiant grace of your drunken-swaying form, have pity
With your delicate waist gently swaying,
on a love-distraught man whose two eyes wander.
Pity this lovesick one with distracted eyes.
تعرض للهوى جهلا فاصمت
مقاتله سهام المقلتين
He ventured into love, unknowing; then struck home
If you ignorantly fall for desire, be silent,
in his vital spots the arrows of those two eyes.
Battling the arrows shot from eyelashes.
