1. His languor from the languishing of his eyes,
And his passion from the flames of his cheeks.
١. فَتْرتُه من فتورِ عَيْنَيْهِ
وحَرُّه من لهيب خدَّيْهِ
2. I was intoxicated by a glance of his eyelashes,
As his eyes were intoxicated by my kiss.
٢. أسكرَني لحظُ مقلتيه كما
أسكر عينيه لدغُ صُدْغيهِ
3. O twin fawns, who lent you two
My two cheeks, and the nights of his boughs,
٣. يا صَوْلَجَانيْهِ مَن أعارَكُما
شقيقتَيْهِ وليلَ فَرعَيهِ
4. Until hearts worshipped him,
And you two rose in love as his excuse.
٤. حتَى تعبّدتما القلوبَ له
وقمتما في الهوى بِعُذْرَيه
