1. يا هِلالاً خَدّاهُ تُفّاحَتانِ

    وَغَزالاً عَيناهُ نَرجِسَتانِ

    O crescent moon whose cheeks are two apples,

    and gazelle whose eyes are two narcissi,

  2. بِالَّذي إِن بَدَت ثَناياكَ فيهِ

    كانَ كَالوَردِ حُفَّ بِالأُقحُوانِ

    By that which, when your front teeth appear within it,

    is like a rose encircled by daisies,

  3. جُد بِبُرءٍ مِنَ الوِصالِ عَلى مَن

    قَد أَذابَتهُ عِلَّةُ الهِجرانِ

    Grant healing through union to one

    whom the sickness of separation has melted away.
