رِيمٌ أنِسَتْ لِلصَّدّ لَمَّا نَفَرَتْ

لِلْقَلْبِ فَرَتْ

A doe accustomed to separation when she shied away

Relieved my heart and went on her way

أرختْ غسقاً وعن صَباح سَفرت

ياكُم سترتْ

She let down night's curtain and journeyed from morn

Oh how much she concealed

كَمْ مِنْ أسْدِ بِلَحْظِهَا قَدْ أسَرَتْ

قَسْراً وَسَرَتْ

Many a lion by her glance she has captivated

Forcibly and freely
