1. حُبُّكَ بينَ الحَشَا مُقيمُ

    يا أيُّها الشَّادِنُ الرخيمُ

    Your love abides within my breast,

    O you sweet-voiced young gazelle!

  2. ألا وخدٍّ علاهُ وَردٌ

    أحسنَ في صبغهِ النعيمُ

    Ah, by a cheek crowned with roses,

    whose coloring bliss has perfected,

  3. لقد تمكَّنتَ من فؤادٍ

    أسقَمهُ طَرفكَ السقيمُ

    you have indeed taken possession of a heart

    that your languid gaze has sickened.

  4. يا حسنَ الوَجهِ إن تَبدَّى

    بِكَ التصابي فَمُستقيمُ

    O fair of face, if there should arise

    youthful dalliance because of you, it is only fitting.
