وفتاة نزهت طرفى فيها

وفتاة نزهت طرفى فيها

شنفت مسمعي بجوهر فيها

شنفت مسمعي بجوهر فيها

And a maiden on whom I feasted my eyes

A maiden passed before my sight

Adorned my ear with the jewels of her mouth.

Whose voice and form did me delight

منذ زارت محبها وتفنت

منذ زارت محبها وتفنت

كاد يرمى بنفسه عن أبيها

كاد يرمى بنفسه عن أبيها

Since she visited her lover and displayed her artistry,

Since then, for love of her, I pine

He nearly flung himself away from her father.

And risk my life at her shrine
