Last Ramadan there came

لقد أتى في رمضان الماضي

1. Last Ramadan there came
A girl in flowing robes -

١. لَقَد أَتَى في رَمَضانَ الماضِي
جارِيَةٌ في دَرْعِها الفَضْفاضِ

2. She hints at things with a sly wink.
Whiter than a sister of the Ibadhi clan,

٢. تُقَظِّعُ الحَدِيثَ بِالإِيْماضِ
أَبَيْضُ مِنْ أُخْتِ بَنِي إِباضِ

3. Would that I were like you in fairness!
Like a gazelle adorned with youthfulness,

٣. يا لَيْتَنِي مِثْلَكِ في البَياضِ
مِثْلَ الغَزالِ زِين بِالخَضاضِ

4. A slender-waisted beauty with soft cheeks -
When she decides to set out on a howdah

٤. قَبّاءُ ذاتُ كَفَلٍ رَضْراضِ
إِذَا اعْتَزَمْنَ الرَهْو في انْتِهاضِ

5. She draws men with her figure and swaying gait.

٥. جاذَبْنَ بِالأَصْلابِ وَالأَنواضِ
