إِذا تَغَنَّتْ بِعُودِها شَغَفٌ

إِذا تَغَنَّتْ بِعُودِها شَغَفٌ

جاءَ سُرورٌ يَفوقُ كُلَّ مُنى

جاءَ سُرورٌ يَفوقُ كُلَّ مُنى

When Shaghaf sings to her lute,

When her lute sings passionately

joy comes, surpassing every wish.

Joy comes surpassing all desires

واحِدةُ الحِذْقِ لا نَظيرَ لَها

واحِدةُ الحِذْقِ لا نَظيرَ لَها

كالمِسْكِ لَوْناً وبُهْجَةً وغِنى

كالمِسْكِ لَوْناً وبُهْجَةً وغِنى

Unique in skill, she has no equal,

Unique in skill, she has no peer

like musk in color, splendor, and richness.

Like musk in hue, delight, and wealth
