أحببته كالظبي ذا مقلةٍ
قد فتكت بي وأنا راضي
I loved him like a deer with large eyes
Who had slain me while I was pleased
يا حسنه من أغيدٍ قارئ
من جفنه قد جرد الماضي
O, his beauty, a chanter reciting
From his eyelids the past was stripped
أحببته كالظبي ذا مقلةٍ
قد فتكت بي وأنا راضي
I loved him like a deer with large eyes
Who had slain me while I was pleased
يا حسنه من أغيدٍ قارئ
من جفنه قد جرد الماضي
