رُبَّ يَوْمٍ بِوَصْلِها سَاعَدَ الدَّهْ

رُ تَسَاوَى صَباحُهُ والمَساءُ

Many a day her company has helped pass the time away,

Its morning equaled the evening in pleasure for me.

سَاعَدَتْنا ساعاتُهُ بِحَديثٍ

رَقَّ حَتَّى جَفا لَدَيْهِ الهَواءُ

Her conversation has beguiled many hours for us,

So refined that even the air around her seemed rarefied.

وَتَخَبّا وَجْهُ الغَزَالةِ عَنّا

وعليْنا مِنَ الغَمامِ خِباءُ

The face of the lovely gazelle turned from us,

As clouds spread their canopy over us.
