1. يا مَن هُوَ الغُصنُ الرَطيبُ إِذا اِنثَنى

    وَاِبنُ الغَزالَةِ وَالغِزالُ إِذا رَنا

    O you who are the tender bough when you sway,

    And the gazelle’s fawn, and the gazelle when you gaze,

  2. خَلِّص بِجاهِ الوَصلِ قَلبَ مُتَيَّمٍ

    غَمَزَ الصُدودُ عَلَيهِ أَعوانَ الضَنى

    By the sanctity of union, rescue the heart of one enslaved by love;

    Estrangement has beckoned the minions of wasting sickness against it.
