1. I kissed him, sweet upon the pillow, dark
And answered them when they reproached me that night
١. قَبّلْتُهُ حُلْوَ المَراشِفِ أسْمَرا
وأجَبْتُهُمْ إذْ عاتَبوني لَيْلَتَهْ
2. He resembles bees in his attributes
Is it odd that I should taste his honey?
٢. هوَ مُشْبِهٌ للنّحْلِ في أوصافِه
أفَمُنْكَرٌ أنّي أذُوقُ عُسَيْلَتَهْ
