أَهدى إِلَيَّ صَبابَةً وَكَآبَةً

أَهدى إِلَيَّ صَبابَةً وَكَآبَةً

فَأَعادَني كَلِفَ الفُؤادِ عَميدا

He gave me yearning and melancholy,

She brought me morning draughts of joy and sorrow

so he made me love-stricken at heart, sick with longing.

And I, once stricken by her love, was pierced anew

إِنَّ الغَزالَةَ وَالغَزالَةَ أَهدَتا

وَجهاً إِلَيكَ إِذا طَلَعتَ وَجيدا

وَجهاً إِلَيكَ إِذا طَلَعتَ وَجيدا

The lovely, gentle gazelle, my friend, had granted

a face and a neck upon you, when you rise.

Her face to you, as radiant as the dawn
