مَرّت كخوطِ الخيزرانةِ غادةٌ

تَسْبى العقولَ وتخطف الأذْهانَا

She passed by like the lines of tattoos, Ghadah

Captivating minds and stealing thoughts

لو تطلبُ المالَ النفيس تواصلاً

مِنْ عند كلِّ العالمين لهَانَا

If you were to seek precious wealth persistently

From all people, it would be disgraced

شمسيةَ قمريةٌ رشئيّةٌ

تذكارُها عن ديننَا أَلهَانَا

Sun-like, moon-like, delightful

The memory of her has distracted our religion

لما رأتني واقفا بطريقها

فتنفرتْ بل أنكرتْ ما كانَا

When she saw me standing in her way

She recoiled, even denied what was

يا هذه ما أطيبَ الدنيا لو أنّ

هراكَ في كلِّ الأمور هوانَا

O you, how good life would be if only

Seeing you in all matters were disgraced

أوليتَ أفئدة الرجالِ بُعَيْدَ ما

فارقْتِ جيرتهم هَوّى وهَوانَا

You have captivated the hearts of men, after

Leaving their neighborhood, passion and disgrace
