قُل لِلحَمامَةِ قَد أَصبَحَتِ شادِيَةً

فَهِجتِ لِلذاكِرِ المَحزونِ تَشويقا

Tell the dove she's become dejected

Coo to the melancholy rememberer excitingly

كَساكِ رَبُّكِ ريشاً تَدفَعينَ بِهِ

قُرَّ الشِتاءِ وَحَلّى الجيدَ تَطويقا

Your Lord equipped you with feathers to ward off

The bitterness of winter and adorned your neck with a collar

فَهَل تُراعينَ مِن بازٍ عَلى شَرَفٍ

يُهدي إِلَيكِ عَنِ الفِرخَينِ تَعويقا

Do you watch out for a falcon on a precipice

Sending you away from your chicks obstructively?

أَما تَرَينَ قِسَيَّ الدَهرِ وَتَّرَها

رامٍ مُصيبٌ أَعارَ النَبلَ تَفويقا

Don't you see the cruelty of fate and its twisting?

An afflicted archer lent his arrows impelling

يُغنيكِ وَكرُكِ عَن بَيتٍ يُزَيِّنُهُ

غاوٍ مِنَ القَومِ إِذهاباً وَتَزويقا

He distracts you and your nest from a home decorated

By a deluded one of the folk, removing and furnishing
