جاءَتْ مَعاً وَاطَّرَقَتْ شَتِيتا

جاءَتْ مَعاً وَاطَّرَقَتْ شَتِيتا

وَهْيَ تُثِيرُ الساطِعَ السِخْتِيتا

وَهْيَ تُثِيرُ الساطِعَ السِخْتِيتا

They came together and went their separate ways,

Together they came and whispered quietly

Stirring up the rising dust,

As she roused the bright one, grieved,

وَتَرَكَتْ راعِيَها مَشْتُوتا

وَتَرَكَتْ راعِيَها مَشْتُوتا

قَدْ كادَ لَمّا نامَ أَنْ يَمُوتا

قَدْ كادَ لَمّا نامَ أَنْ يَمُوتا

And left their shepherd distraught;

And left their shepherd distraught,

He nearly died when he fell asleep.

Who nearly died as he slept.
