رِيمٌ حُجِبَتْ فاسفرتْ عَنْ قَانِ

رِيمٌ حُجِبَتْ فاسفرتْ عَنْ قَانِ

مِثْلِ الشفَقِ

مِثْلِ الشفَقِ

A gazelle was veiled, then revealed a crimson hue

A maiden unveiled and dawn disclosed

like the twilight glow.

The hue of sunset;

لاَحَتْ قَمَراً وَمَايَسَتْ عَنْ بَانِ

لاَحَتْ قَمَراً وَمَايَسَتْ عَنْ بَانِ

لَدْنٍ رَشِقٍ

لَدْنٍ رَشِقٍ

She shone as a moon and swayed, revealing a bān tree,

A moon she shone though not bedight with gold,

supple and slender.

Nor silver zone high girt.
