1. O you who spared us the taste of her saliva
Gently, to a heart that has none but you
١. يا مَن حَمَت عَنّا مَذاقَةَ ريقِها
رِفقاً بِقَلبٍ لَيسَ فيهِ سِواكِ
2. How often I asked the lips to describe her cheek
Yet it refused, and declared to me, none but you
٢. فَلَكَم سَأَلتُ الثَغرَ وَصفَ رُضابِهِ
فَأَبى وَصَرَّحَ لي سَفيهُ سِواكِ
