غَزالٌ مِنْ بَني العاصِ

أَحَسَّ بِصَوتِ قَنَّاصِ

A gazelle from the tribe of Al-'As

Heard the sound of a hunter

فَأَقلعَ جيْدهُ ذُعراً

وأَشخَصَ أَيَّ إِشخاصِ

So he turned his neck in fright

And stared intensely

أيا مَن أخلصَتْ نَفسي

هواهُ كلَّ إخلاصِ

O you whom my soul has sincerely loved

With utter devotion

أطاعكَ مِن صميمِ القل

بِ عَفْواً كل مُعتاصِ

Obey you from the depths of my heart

With forgiveness for all transgressors
