غَزالة السرب مِنها القُرب أَحيانا

غَزالة السرب مِنها القُرب أَحيانا

فيهِ نَعمنا بِنَيل الوَصل أَحيانا

فيهِ نَعمنا بِنَيل الوَصل أَحيانا

The herd's gazelle—nearness to her brought us to life.

Sometimes closeness comes from the herd of gazelles

In that nearness we delighted in attaining union at times.

Sometimes we rejoice in attaining union

مُت يا عَذولي وَذُق بِالقَهر أَحيانا

مُت يا عَذولي وَذُق بِالقَهر أَحيانا

وَاِنظُر دَلال منيتي إِن ضَمَّها المُشتاق

Die, O my reproacher, and taste anguish at times!

Die, O my blamer, and taste subjugation sometimes

And see the coyness of my heart's desire if the yearning lover embraces her:

And look closely at my languishing if yearning has embraced it

قالَت أَمان خصري يمّا أَوه أَح يانا

She said, "Mercy! My waist! Mama! Oh! Ow! Oh, me!"

She said: The refuge of my waist - oh how it aches sometimes
