1. By my father's life, slender like a gazelle
With his shape perfect and beautiful like the full moon
١. وابأبي أحور كالظبي لدن
القدِّ فرد الحسن كالبدر
2. Intoxicating with the sway of his walk
Yet unaccustomed is he to drunkenness
٢. يهزُّ سكر الدلّ من قدّه
وهو بعيد العهد بالسكر
3. Would that I had a branch of silver in my hand
While in his hand is a branch of musk
٣. غصناً من الفضَّة من لي به
في يده غصنٌ من التبر
