كَتَبَتْ مِيَاهُ الحسنِ فِي وَجَنَاتِهَا

كَتَبَتْ مِيَاهُ الحسنِ فِي وَجَنَاتِهَا

لِلْعَاشِقِينَ رَسَائِلَ الأشْوَاقِ

لِلْعَاشِقِينَ رَسَائِلَ الأشْوَاقِ

The waters of beauty wrote upon her cheeks

The streams of beauty wrote in their gardens

Letters of longing for lovers.

Messages of longing for the lovers

وَدَعَا بِلالُ الخَالِ فِي رَحَبَاتِهَا

وَدَعَا بِلالُ الخَالِ فِي رَحَبَاتِهَا

ألْقُوا السلاَحَ لِسَاحِرِ الاحدّاقِ

ألْقُوا السلاَحَ لِسَاحِرِ الاحدّاقِ

And Bilal of the beauty mark called in her courtyards:

And Bilal called in its expanses

Lay down your arms before the enchanter of eyes.

Lay down your arms for the sorcerer of glances

ورَوَى مُسَلْسَلُ ثَغْرِهَا عَنْ جَعْدِهِ

ورَوَى مُسَلْسَلُ ثَغْرِهَا عَنْ جَعْدِهِ

خَبَرَ الهَوَى وَمَصَارِعَ العُشَّاقِ

خَبَرَ الهَوَى وَمَصَارِعَ العُشَّاقِ

And her mouth’s flowing nectar recounted, on the authority of its curls,

And the chain of her mouth recounted from her curl

The tale of love and the deaths of lovers.

The story of love and the battles of the lovers
