خَرَجتُ غَداةَ النَفرِ أَعتَرِضُ الدُمى

خَرَجتُ غَداةَ النَفرِ أَعتَرِضُ الدُمى

فَلَم أَرَ أَحلى مِنكِ في العَينِ وَالقَلبِ

فَلَم أَرَ أَحلى مِنكِ في العَينِ وَالقَلبِ

I went out on the morning of departure, looking over the statue-like beauties.

I went out one morning to cross the sand dunes

And I saw none lovelier than you to the eye and heart.

But I saw no one sweeter than you in my eyes or heart

فَوَاللَهِ ما أَدري أَحُسناً رُزِقتَهُ

فَوَاللَهِ ما أَدري أَحُسناً رُزِقتَهُ

أَمِ الحُبُّ أَعمى كَالَّذي قيلَ في الحُبِّ

أَمِ الحُبُّ أَعمى كَالَّذي قيلَ في الحُبِّ

And by God, I do not know whether you were endowed with beauty,

By God, I don't know if you were granted beauty

or love is blind, as has been said of love.

Or if love blinded me, as they say love blinds
