Claude 2

  1. قُلْ يا غَزال مَنْ خَطَّ واوَيْنِ

    فُوَيْقَ خدَّين بِلا مثالْ

    Say, O gazelle, who designed the two crescent moons

    Above cheeks without equal

  2. قد جَلَّ مَنْ أبدعْ

    مِنْ دُونِ ما نِدِّ

    He who created excelled

    Beyond any praise

  3. جَمالَكَ الأبْدَعْ

    في حُسْنِهِ الفردِ

    Your unparalleled beauty

    In its unmatched elegance

  4. والبَدْرَ قد أطْلَعْ

    من ذلكَ القَدِّ

    And the full moon has risen

    From that slender waist

  5. على اعِتدالْ يهفُو بِبُرْدَيْنِ

    كالغُصُنِ اللَّيْنِ طَوْعَ الشَّمالْ

    Poised evenly, swaying with two cool cheeks

    Like a gentle branch bending in the breeze

  6. من لي بهِ يَثْني

    فُؤادَ ذي اللُّبِّ

    Who can sway for me

    The heart of the beloved

  7. مُسْتَعْبَدَ الحُسْنِ

    مُتَيَّمَ الحُبِّ

    Enslaved by beauty

    Infatuated with love

  8. يا سائِلي عنَّي

    ها حالتِي تُنْبي

    Oh you who ask about me

    My state reveals

  9. وكيفَ حالْ مَنْ ظَلَّ للبَيْنِ

    يَرْعَى السِّماكَيْنِ طُولَ اللَّيالْ

    And how fares one who remained separated

    Shepherding the two eyelids through the long nights

  10. سُبْحانَ باريهِ

    بِدْعاً بلا مِثْلِ

    Glory to its Creator

    With a supplication beyond compare

  11. كالظَّبيِ في التِّيهِ

    والغُصنِ في الشَّكلِ

    Like a deer astray

    And a branch in appearance

  12. يا عاذِلي فِيْهِ

    أسْرَفْتَ في العَذْلِ

    Oh you who blame him

    You have exceeded in blame

  13. دَعِ الجدالْ ما قادَ لي حَيْنِي

    خِلافُ عَيْنينِ تَرمي نِبالْ

    Let go of contention, for when my eyes met

    The dispute of two gazes hurling arrows

  14. قَدْ ذُبْتُ بالأشواقْ

    ومِتُّ بالحُبِّ

    I melted in passions

    And died in love

  15. الوجْدُ في إحْراقْ

    والدَّمْعُ في سَكْبِ

    The ecstasy in torment

    And tears pouring forth

  16. يا قومُ هَلْ مِنْ راقْ

    يَرْقي جَوى قَلْبي

    Oh people, is there a healer

    To mend my heart's wound

  17. ماليْ احْتيالْ في لَحْظِ جَفْنينِ

    يَرْمي بِسَهْمَيْنِ ولا يُبالْ

    I have no tricks under the gaze of two eyes

    That shoots two arrows without care

  18. واعَدَني الشَّاطِرْ

    بزَوْرةٍ تُدنيهْ

    The cunning one promised

    To visit with a glimpse

  19. ثم انْثَنى نافِرْ

    فَظَلْتُ أستدعِيهْ

    Then turned away aloof

    And I kept calling him

  20. فإذْ أتى خاطِرْ

    شدَوْتُه تَنْبِيهْ

    But when the idea came to me

    I chided it to rouse

  21. وَجْهَ الهِلالْ قُلْ لِيْ يا نُورْ عَيْني

    تَمْطُلْ كذا دَيْني يَكِفِي المِطالْ

    Say to me, oh light of my eyes

    Do you delay my debt like this, it's enough hesitance
