فتكت بي لواحظ الغزلان
وغزتيand assailed me نواعسdrowsy الأجفانthe eyelids
وغزتي نواعس الأجفان
The gazelles’ glances have dealt cruelly with me;
The gazelles’ sidelong glances slew me.
And languid eyelids have assailed me.
And drowsy eyelids assailed me.
ورمتنيand shot at me منfrom العيونthe eyes نبالarrows
ورمتني من العيون نبال

فعلت في فؤادي الولهان
Arrows loosed from eyes have struck me,
And arrows from the eyes struck me.
And wrought their work within my love-distraught heart.
They took effect in my love-stricken heart.
