1. I roamed with the morning breeze, free and unconfined,
And the inherited traditions of corruption disgusted me.
١. جَرَيتُ مَعَ الصِبا طَلقَ العَتيقِ
وَهانَ عَلَيَّ مَأثورُ الفُسوقِ
2. I found the sweetest intimacy in the bareness of the nights
When melody wedded the pulsating string.
٢. وَجَدتُ أَلَذَّ عارِيَةِ اللَيالي
قِرانَ النَغمِ بِالوَتَرِ الخَفوقِ
3. And whenever I wished, she sang for me,
When the loved ones camped at Al-Aqiq.
٣. وَمُسمِعَةً إِذا ما شِئتُ غَنَّت
مَتى نَزَلَ الأَحِبَّةُ بِالعَقيقِ
