جَادَ الأَمِيرُ بِصَيدِهِ

فَدَعَتْ هَدِيَّتهُ ثنَائِي

The prince returned with his hunt

His gift invited my praise

يَا طِيبَهُنَّ حَمَائِمَاً

عَلَّمَتْنِي حُسْنَ الوَفَاءِ

"You gentle doves, so tame and true

Have taught me faithfulness anew."

آوَيتُهُنَّ إلى الحَشَا

فَمَلأْنَ رَأْسِي بِالغِنَاءِ

In the garden I gave them rest

And they filled my head with song.
