يهتز قدك ليناً

يهتز قدك ليناً

وفي الحشا منه غصه

وفي الحشا منه غصه

Your figure sways softly,

Your slender waist sways gently,

and it brings a choking pang to my heart.

Yet hides in the bushes some sorrow.

يغيب عنني حيناً

يغيب عنني حيناً

وإن أتى جا برقصه

وإن أتى جا برقصه

It is absent from me for a while,

You disappear from me at times,

and if it comes, it comes dancing.

Though if you come, you come dancing.
