سحراً زارني من الأنس ظبيٌ

سحراً زارني من الأنس ظبيٌ

فتَّ في مهجتي المرارة فتّا

فتَّ في مهجتي المرارة فتّا

At dawn, a gazelle of humankind visited me.

A magical visitor from the human race graced me,

He utterly crushed the bitterness in my heart.

And cracked open the bitterness in my heart.

قلتُ حتى ذوى من الهجر عودي

قلتُ حتى ذوى من الهجر عودي

عُدتَ بالوصل سيدي قال حتى

عُدتَ بالوصل سيدي قال حتى

I said, 'Only after my bough had withered from separation

I said, "Even my firewood has withered from estrangement,"

did you return with reunion, my master.' He said, 'Until.'

You have returned to reunite, my master, he said "Even so."
