She quenched my thirst with her saliva

سقاني السلافة من ريقه

1. She quenched my thirst with her saliva
And plucked for me roses from her cheek

١. سقاني السُّلافةَ من ريقه
وأقطفنِي الوردَ من خدِّهِ

2. She compensated my short reach
For what was beyond my grasp

٢. وعوّضنِي بقصير الوصا
لِ عمّا تطاول من صدِّهِ

3. She gave me plenty from her gifts
Though I did not hope for her promise

٣. وأوسعنِي الكَثْرَ من رِفْدِه
وما كنتُ أطمع في وعدِهِ

4. And I said to those who blamed me for loving her
You have faulted me, but who else is there for me after her?

٤. وقلتُ لمن لام في حبّهِ
غَششتَ فمن ليَ مِن بعدِهِ

5. And my love for him spread among the people
So I have no way to deny it

٥. وشاع غرامي به في الأنامِ
فما لي سبيلٌ إلى جَحْدِهِ

6. And from where can I seek, in his beauty?
The resemblance and beauty are from Him

٦. ومن أين أطلب في حُسنهِ
لَه الشَّبه والحسنُ من عندِهِ
