  1. هَل ناشِدٌ لي بِعَقيقِ الحِمى

    غُزَيّلِاً مَرَّ عَلى الرَكبِ

    Is there a companion who calls to me with the perfume of love,

    A gazelle who passed by the caravan,

  2. أَفلَتَ مِن قانِصِهِ غِرَّةً

    وَعادَ بِالقَلبِ إِلى السِربِ

    Escaped from the hunter suddenly,

    And returned with a heart to the herd?

  3. وَأَظمَأَ القَلبَ إِلى مالِكٍ

    لايُحسِنُ العَدلَ عَلى القَلبِ

    It made the heart thirsty for its owner

    Who does not know justice for the heart.

  4. يَعجَبُ مِن عُجبي بِهِ في الهَوى

    وا عَجَبي مِنهُ وَمِن عُجبي

    He is amazed at my wonder for him in love,

    And my wonder for him and for my wonder!

  5. أَقرُبُ بِالوُدِّ وَيَنأى بِهِ

    وَيلي عَلى بُعدِكَ مِن قُربِ

    Closest in affection, yet remote,

    Woe to me for your distance from nearness.

  6. مُنَعَّمٌ يَعطِفُ مِنهُ الصِبا

    لِعبَ الصَبا بِالغُصُنِ الرَطبِ

    Luxurious, bending branches with him,

    The morning breeze playing with the moist branch.

  7. بَلادَةُ النَعمَةِ في طَبعِهِ

    وَرُبَّما ناقَشَ في الحُبِّ

    Dullness of luxury in his nature,

    And sometimes he argued about love.

  8. أَما اِتَّقى اللَهَ عَلى ضُعفِهِ

    مُعَذَّبُ القَلبِ بِلا ذَنبِ

    Does he not fear Allah for his weakness,

    My heart tortured without sin?

  9. يا ماطِلاً لي بِدُيونِ الهَوى

    مَن دَلَّ عَينَيكَ عَلى قَلبي

    Oh procrastinator of my love debts,

    Who has misled your eyes to my heart?
