ومشبّبٍ بالرَّقْمتين وحاجرٍ

ومشبّبٍ بالرَّقْمتين وحاجرٍ

وبرامةٍ دَعْني وما لا أعرفُ

وبرامةٍ دَعْني وما لا أعرفُ

And you who sing of al-Raqmatayn and Hajir,

With cheeks like rose petals and arrogance

And of Ramah—spare me what I do not know.

And innocence, leave me be with what I do not know

شبّب بحدّه أو فَدَعْ فهي التي

شبّب بحدّه أو فَدَعْ فهي التي

أَضْحتْ بأنواع المحاسِنِ تُوصفُ

أَضْحتْ بأنواع المحاسِنِ تُوصفُ

Sing of Haddah, or desist, for she is the one

Rebuke her harshness or leave her be for she is the one

Now described as possessing every kind of beauty.

Who has come to be described with all kinds of beauty

من أينَ تَلْقى مثل حدة أنْبِني

من أينَ تَلْقى مثل حدة أنْبِني

هيهات مِثلُ جَمالِها لا يُعرفُ

هيهات مِثلُ جَمالِها لا يُعرفُ

Where can you find the like of Haddah? Tell me.

Where can you find sharpness of features like hers

Far from it! The like of her beauty is unknown.

Alas, the like of her beauty is not known

ما شِعْب بوان النضير نظيرُها

ما شِعْب بوان النضير نظيرُها

في الحُسْنِ لو أنّ المخالِفَ يُنصفُ

في الحُسْنِ لو أنّ المخالِفَ يُنصفُ

The verdant valley of Bawwan is no match for her

What valley in Buwan can compare to her

In beauty, were the dissenter to judge fairly.

In beauty, even if the critic is fair

والصُّغد يوماً لو حكاهَا بَهجةً

والصُّغد يوماً لو حكاهَا بَهجةً

نادتْه حَسبْك أيها المتكلّف

نادتْه حَسبْك أيها المتكلّف

And if Sogd one day imitated her in splendor,

And Sughd, if it ever portrayed her as joy

She would cry to it: “Enough, you pretentious one!”

She would say "enough, you pretender"
