خُلِقْتُ لأعلو وجوهَ المهَا

خُلِقْتُ لأعلو وجوهَ المهَا

وأستر لينَ خدودِ الدمىَ

وأستر لينَ خدودِ الدمىَ

I was created to lie over the faces of oryx,

I was created to exalt the faces of the moons

And veil the softness of the dolls’ cheeks.

And reveal the soft cheeks of the beauties

فلم تَرَ قَبْلي عيونُ الورى

فلم تَرَ قَبْلي عيونُ الورى

على الغانيات ضُحىً مُعلَما

على الغانيات ضُحىً مُعلَما

So, before me, the eyes of humankind had never seen

Eyes of the world have not seen before me

Upon beautiful women, patterned morning light.

A morning's glow upon the singing girls
