1. في يد الإِرتهان عيني تملت

    بعد عشر بطيف من قد تولّتْ

    In bondage’s grip, my eye gazed its fill,

    After ten, upon the apparition of her who had departed,

  2. مذ أغارت وأنجدت بفؤاد

    من رهين لحيثما هي حلَّتْ

    Since she ranged through lowlands and highlands, bearing the heart

    Of one bound to wherever she settled.
