She swayed gracefully between Rāmah and al-Ghamīm,
She swayed between the thundercloud and the mist
A maiden shooting with a gazelle's glances.
A girl falling into a flimsy veil

She shies away without severing my bond of affection,
My affection for her is tender, not harsh
And such is the way of the gazelles of the dunes.
Such is the way of graceful gazelles

The morning breeze blows her this way and that
Like a bān-tree shoot that bent with the breeze.
Like strands of rope swinging in the wind

With the melody of a gentle voice

Filling my hearing with ample pearls
And the eye is filled with strung pearls.
And filling my sight with strung gems
