أَلا يا صاحِ لِلعَجَبِ

دَعَوتُكِ ثُمَّ لَم تُجِبِ

Oh marveler, I called you but you did not answer

To the gathering of delight and joy

إِلى القَيناتِ وَاللَذّا

تِ وَالصَهباءِ وَالطَرَبِ

And to reddened wine and enchantment

And to a valley laden with flowers

وَباطِيَةٍ مُكَلَّلَةٍ

عَلَيها سادَةُ العَرَبِ

Where the chiefs of the Arabs resided

Among them is she who melted your heart but did not repent

وَفيهِنَّ الَّتي تَبَلَت

فُؤادَكَ ثُمَّ لَم تَتُبِ
