أناحَتْ حَماماتُ اللِّوى أمْ تَغَنَّتِ

فَأَبْدَتْ دَواعِي قَلْبِهِ مَا أَجَنَّتِ

Did the doves of the thicket sing out or moan?

Revealing the secrets held in their hearts, untold.

فَدَيْتُ الَّتي كانَتْ ولا شَيءَ غَيْرُها

مُنى الْنَّفسِ أوْ يُقْضى لَها مَا تَمَنَّتِ

I ransom her who was once mine and no other's -

Grant my soul its wish or let fate unfold.
