غزيل تهامه

مسكى الشامه

Gazelle of Tihama

Whose aroma intoxicates

صدوده قيامه

فضح ظبي رامه

His rejection resurrects

The shame of a lustful gazelle

بالجيد والقامه

وحسن الرّخامه

With neck and stature

And beautiful elegance

كثير الغرامه

صافي المدامه

Much enamored

Clear complexion

وريقه علامه

ولا هي أمامه

His face a sign

None can surpass

إلا خدامه

بتلك الوسامه

Except servants

Bearing such insignia

عبر في غلاله

لابس شياله

He crossed the thickets

Wearing a shawl

وشمس مثاله

دعيته تعاله

Like a shining sun

I called him come

يا بدر ألا له

تغافل بناله

O moon, alas to him

Heedless of attaining him

وحوله طواله

خيل صهّاله

Around him slender steeds

Well-adorned horses

وتلك سلاله

علامه علامه

That is his lineage

My moony of Levant

قمري الشامه

هجرني علامه

He shunned me, what a sign

I stayed up for the Pleiades

سهرت الحنادس

للخشف الكانس

For the subtle guardian

And for charming company

ولاله موانس

كثير الوساوس

Full of obsessions

In the dark night

في الليل الدامس

أنابت حارس

I appealed to the guard

Of the lord of brides

لسيد العرائس

ذي الطرف الناعس

Of languid eyes

Lost is the wretched mind

سبا العقل تاعس

ويا أهل الكرامه

O people of dignity

And rectitude

والاستقامه

خذوني غلامه

Take me as a slave
