1. أَهوى رَشا إن مَشى أَزرى غُصون البان

    أَهيف وَهى جلدي فيهِ وَصَبري بان

    I love a young gazelle who, when he walks, puts the bān tree's boughs to shame.

    Slender-waisted—my endurance has weakened because of him, and my patience has fled.

  2. يا هادِماً رُكن صَبرٍ ما لَهُ مِن بان

    واصل معنى غَرامك يا وَحيد عَصرك

    O destroyer of patience's pillar, which has no builder.

    Grant union to the one tormented by love for you, O peerless one of your time.

  3. يا غُصن بان فَوقَهُ بَدر الدَياجي بان

    O bān-tree bough, above which the full moon of the dark nights has appeared.
