أَنا بِالرَحمَن مِن حو

رٍ يكَسِّرن جفونا

I swear by the Merciful, from the hur

whose eyes break my sleepiness,

دارِجات كَحَمام ال

أيك يبهرن العُيونا

Bewitching doves that dazzle the eyes.

I said they're from here, and my words

قُلت مِن هُنّ وَقَولي

كانَ جَهلاً وَجُنونا

were ignorance and madness.

Then from among them came a beauty

فَاِنبَرَت مِنهُن حَسنا

ء فَأذكَتني شُجونا

that awakened my sorrows,

And she answered me, though I did not know

وَأَجابَتني وَلَم أَد

رِ أَجدّاً أَم مُجونا

if she was serious or joking:

"We are your bliss and passion,

نَحنُ مِن سُمناك وَجداً

وَفتنّاك فتونا

and we have seduced you with seduction."
