My beloved is dark-skinned and swaggering.
My beloved, brown-skinned and rebellious
He has a dark eye that slays with a dagger.
With black eyes cutting like a dagger

حروف ناريه تسحر وتسجر
And in it magic has inscribed
In them, magic lines
Fiery letters that bewitch and set ablaze.
Fiery letters that enchant and imprison
