سبَتْ فؤادي وطرفي

سمراءُ مثلُ الرُدَيْني

My heart and my gaze were captivated,

By a brunette with cheeks like pomegranates.

وثُبْتُ هذا وهذا

للناسِ في نُقطَتَيْنِ

This one and that one,

Are the talk of people in two spots,

فتلكَ حبّةُ قلبي

وتلك حبّةُ عَيْني

One being the pupil of my heart,

And the other, the pupil of my eye.
