أَهدى إِلَيَّ صَبابَةً وَكَآبَةً

فَأَعادَني كَلِفَ الفُؤادِ عَميدا

She brought me morning draughts of joy and sorrow

And I, once stricken by her love, was pierced anew

إِنَّ الغَزالَةَ وَالغَزالَةَ أَهدَتا

وَجهاً إِلَيكَ إِذا طَلَعتَ وَجيدا

The lovely, gentle gazelle, my friend, had granted

Her face to you, as radiant as the dawn
