غرّدَت فوق غُصنِها الأملودِ

فاستثارت هوى الفؤادِ العَميدِ

She warbled atop her supple branch,

Stirring the passion of my steadfast heart -

ذاتُ طَوقٍ تَقَلَّدَت بحُلاهُ

فوقَ نحرٍ وذاتُ عِقدٍ بجيدٍ

With a necklace adorning her neck,

Above a chest with a brooch on her chest.

كَتَمَت وَجهَها زَماناً فلما

عَرَفُوها تَسَترت بالعقودِ

She concealed her face for a time, but when

They recognized her, she hid behind her jewels.

كدت أنسى تلك العهودَ ولكن

ذكرتني وما نسيتُ عُهودي

I almost forgot those times, but

She reminded me, and I didn't forget my promises.

ذكرتني أيام لهوي وأنسى

بمهاة لمياء كالغصن رود

She reminded me of the days of my passion, and made me forget

With clear water like a supple branch.

ظبيةٌ تأسِرُ الأُسود وكان ال

عَهدُ أن الظباءَ أسرى الأُسودِ

A gazelle who captures lions, though it was

Customary for gazelles to be captured by lions.

من له في الورى كعثمانَ جدٌ

وأبٌ ماجدٌ كعبدِ المجيد

Who in existence has lineage like Othman

And a glorious father like Abdul Majeed?

واحدٌ في عُلاهُ فردٌ ولكن

جمعَ اللَه فيه كل الوجود

And a unique supreme being, unmatched, but

God combined all existence within him.
