1. I kissed him near the camps, and so
That sweetness spread throughout my limbs.
١. قبّلته عند النوى فتمرّرت
تلك الحلاوة بالتّفرق والجوى
2. And when he came, I kissed his lips-
How wonderful, without the camps,
٢. ولثمته عند القدوم فحبذا
رطب الشفاه السكريّ بلا نوى
3. Were his sweet lips' intoxicating sips!
My thanks to you for what you sent me go.
٣. بعثت إليك الشكر عما بعثته
ومالي بغير الشكر يا سيدي قوى
