أحبسنا الكرب اجساها

وأسالا الدار اسألاها

Sorrow besieged us, so we overcame it,

And asked the house, so we asked it,

دمية أن جليت كا

نت حلى الحسن حلاها

My doll, when you appeared as if

You were the adornment of beauty, adorned with it,

دمية تسقيك عينا

ها كما تسقي يداها

My doll gives you her eyes,

As her hands give you to drink,

ومجاري يرك يجلو

همومي مجتلاها

And your saliva flows clearly,

He gathered my worries for her,

حلب بدر دجا ان

مها الزهر قراها

Aleppo is like a full moon when

It adorns itself with flowers,

شهوات الطرف فيه

فوق ما كان اشتهاها

The desires of the eye in it

Above what he had desired,

وهي تبر منتهاها

فضة قرطمتاها

And it shows its superior status,

Its two silver earrings.
