1. يَا رب غَزَالَةٍ كَشَمْسِ وضحتْ

    للَّيْلِ مَحَتْ

    Ah, many a gazelle shone forth like the sun,

    effacing the night.

  2. بِالسُّكْرِ صَحَتْ وَبَالِحَيَا اتَّشَحَتْ

    يَا كَمْ فَضَحَتْ

    She sobered through intoxication and wrapped herself in modesty.

    Oh, how many she put to shame!

  3. فِي وَجْنَتِهَا مِيَاهُ وَرْدٍ رَشَحَتْ

    لَمَّا نَضَحَتْ

    On her cheek, rosewater seeped forth

    when she perspired.
