أما وفتورِ طرفكَ يا خؤونُ

أما وفتورِ طرفكَ يا خؤونُ

وما رميت بهِ منكَ العُيونُ

وما رميت بهِ منكَ العُيونُ

Indeed, by the languor of your gaze, O treacherous one,

The languor of your eyes, O Khouwan,

And by what from you has struck the eyes,

And what the eyes have cast at you,

ووجنتُكَ التي فضلت بنورٍ

ووجنتُكَ التي فضلت بنورٍ

تمازجُهُ الملاحةُ والفتونُ

تمازجُهُ الملاحةُ والفتونُ

And by your cheek, distinguished by a radiance

Your cheeks that excel in radiance

With which beauty and allure mingle,

Where charm and coquetry intertwine,

يحادثُ فيك عينَ الوَهمِ حقاً

يحادثُ فيك عينَ الوَهمِ حقاً

فحارَت في مناعتِكَ الظنونُ

فحارَت في مناعتِكَ الظنونُ

In you, it truly converses with imagination's eye;

Truly conjure fantasy's eye,

So conjectures were bewildered by your inaccessibility.

So doubts are confused by your reserve,

وأقبلتِ القلوبُ إليكَ طَوعاً

وأقبلتِ القلوبُ إليكَ طَوعاً

كما دانَت هوىً بكَ لا تَدينُ

كما دانَت هوىً بكَ لا تَدينُ

And hearts came to you willingly,

Hearts come willingly to you,

As they submitted out of love for you, though you do not submit.

Swayed by passion for you, never to sway.
