يا هِندُ رُدّي الوَصلَ أَن يَتَصَرَّما

وَصِلي اِمرأً كَلِفاً بِحُبِّك مُغرَما

O Hind, restore the union lest it wither

And join a lover consumed with your love

لَو تَبذُلينَ لَنا دَلالَكِ مَرَّةً

لَم نَبغِ مِنكِ سِوى دَلالكِ محرَما

If you would but grant us your flirtation once

We would ask nothing more of you but what is forbidden

منعَ الزِّيارَةَ أَنَّ أَهلَكَ كُلَّهُم

أَبدَوا لِزَورِكِ غِلظَةً وَتَجَهُّما

Your family has forbidden visiting

Showing only harshness and frowning

ما ضَرَّ أَهلكِ لَو تَطَوَّف عاشِقٌ

بِفِناءِ بَيتِكَ أَو أَلَمَّ فَسَلَّما

It would not harm your family if a lover

Circled your house’s courtyard or knocked and greeted
