يا فتاةَ الحيِّ قد أَذكَرتِنا
نَضرةَ الرَوضِ وَمَيلَ الغُصُن
O maiden of the neighborhood, you have reminded us
O girl of the lively one, you have reminded us
of the garden’s freshness and the bough’s sway.
Of the garden's blossoms and the bending of the branch
أَيُّ لحنٍ تَرجَمَت تِلكَ الخُطا
عنه لِلعَينِ هناء الأُذُنِ
What melody have those footsteps translated,
What melody conveyed those steps
giving the eye the ear’s delight in it?
To give the eye here the ear’s joy?
عارِضي البَدرَ إذا لم يَعتَرِف
لكِ بِالحُسنِ بوَجهٍ حَسَن
Challenge the full moon if it will not acknowledge
My cheek vying with the full moon, when it does not confess
your beauty, with your lovely face.
To you in beauty with a beautiful face
Sol 6.1
