فرعٌ طويلٌ فوق حسن طائل
I would ransom her, to whom my soul was led
I sacrifice myself for she who my soul leads me towards
By a long tress crowning abundant beauty.
A towering branch atop astounding beauty

My heart, obedient to her, by her temple-locks,
My heart obedient to her cheeks
Is led to Paradise in chains.
Is led to Heaven in chains
