وَحْشِيَّةُ العَيْنَيْنِ مياسَةُ ال

وَحْشِيَّةُ العَيْنَيْنِ مياسَةُ ال

عِطْفَيْنِ من تَرْبيَةِ القَصْرِ

عِطْفَيْنِ من تَرْبيَةِ القَصْرِ

Gazelle-eyed, with gracefully swaying

The savagery of her eyes, the tenderness of her arms

flanks, reared in the palace.

From the upbringing of the palace

البدرُ لا يُغْنِيْكَ عَنْهَا إذا

البدرُ لا يُغْنِيْكَ عَنْهَا إذا

غابَتْ وتُغْنِيْكَ عَنِ البَدْرِ

غابَتْ وتُغْنِيْكَ عَنِ البَدْرِ

The full moon cannot take her place for you when

The full moon cannot make up for her if she is absent

she is absent, yet she can take the full moon's place for you.

Yet she makes up for the full moon

في فمِهَا مِسْكٌ وَمَشْمُولَةٌ

في فمِهَا مِسْكٌ وَمَشْمُولَةٌ

صِرْفٌ ومنظومٌ من الدُّرِّ

صِرْفٌ ومنظومٌ من الدُّرِّ

In her mouth are musk and chilled wine,

In her mouth there is musk, and she is filled

unmixed, and a string of pearls.

With eloquence and poetry of pearls

فالمسْكُ للنكهَةِ والخَمْرُ لِلرْ

رِيْقَةِ واللّؤْلُؤُ للثَّغْرِ

رِيْقَةِ واللّؤْلُؤُ للثَّغْرِ

The musk is for her breath, and the wine for her

So the musk is for fragrance, the wine for wetting the palate

saliva, and the pearls for her teeth.

And the pearls for the lips
