1. عِندَ الخُدودِ دَمي فَهَلْ لي ثَائِرُ

    يَالِلرِّجالِ وَحَيُّ لَيلَى عَامِرُ

    At the cheeks my blood, is there for me an avenger

    O men, and Hayya Layla Aamir

  2. وَبِأَرضِهِمْ سُمْرُ الرِّماحِ عَوَاطِفٌ

    مَسَّاسَةٌ وَظُبَا الصّفَاحِ بَوَاتِرُ

    And in their land the lances' points are passions

    Touching and the oryx of meadows limping

  3. وَمَتى رَأَيْتَ هْناكَ ظَبياً راتِعاً

    فََقَتِيلُهُ في الحُبِّ لَيْثٌ خَادِرُ

    And when you see there a resting oryx

    Its slain lover in love is a strong lion

  4. وَوَراءَ دَمْعِي لِلدِّيَارِ دَمِي وَلا

    حَذَرٌ ولِلأَطْلالِ مِنهِ ذَخَائِرُ

    And behind my tear for the dwellings my blood and no

    Caution and for the ruins of it treasures
