وغادة زارت بلا

وغادة زارت بلا

وعد ولا مُرتَقَبِ

وعد ولا مُرتَقَبِ

And a lovely maiden visited without

And her visit was unannounced

a promise or expectation;

With no prior promise nor expected

ثم مضت ولم أكن

ثم مضت ولم أكن

قضيت منها أرَبي

قضيت منها أرَبي

then she departed, and I had not

Then she left and I had not

satisfied my desire for her.

Spent with her even a moment
