مَن لي بِشَملِ المُنى وَالأُنسِ أَجمَعُهُ

مَن لي بِشَملِ المُنى وَالأُنسِ أَجمَعُهُ

بِشادِنٍ حَلَّ فيهِ الحُسنُ أَجمَعُه

بِشادِنٍ حَلَّ فيهِ الحُسنُ أَجمَعُه

Who will help me gather wishes and companionship together,

Who will bring me the fullness of intimacy and companionship,

With a young gazelle in whom all beauty dwells?

In Shadine, embodiment of all beauty,

ما زالَ يُعرِضُ عَن وَصلي وَأَخدَعُه

ما زالَ يُعرِضُ عَن وَصلي وَأَخدَعُه

فَالآنَ قَد لانَ بَعدَ الصَدِّ أَخدَعُه

فَالآنَ قَد لانَ بَعدَ الصَدِّ أَخدَعُه

He kept shunning union with me, while I beguiled him;

He continues to spurn my devotion, though I deceive him,

So now, after his rebuff, his neck has grown supple.

But now after long rejection, it is he I shall deceive.
