لولا شفاعة شعرها في صبها

لولا شفاعة شعرها في صبها

ما خففت بالوصل منه سقاما

ما خففت بالوصل منه سقاما

Were it not for her hair’s intercession for her lovesick admirer,

Were it not for the intercession of her hair when it was poured,

she would not have eased his sickness through union.

I would not have been cured of sickness by union with her.

لكن تنازل في الشفاعة عندها

لكن تنازل في الشفاعة عندها

وغدى على أقدامها يترامى

وغدى على أقدامها يترامى

But it lowered itself before her in intercession,

But she was indulgent in interceding for me with herself,

and began casting itself at her feet.

And he began to crawl at her feet.
