1. My friend, those treasured nights gone by
When modesty cloaked pleasures now laid bare
١. يا خَليلَيَّ وَأُيورُ أَمانَه
وَالبُظورُ المُبَقَّياتُ دِيانَه
2. Umm Muways did not refuse the blade
But no honor in that blood found there
٢. لَم تُغِبَّ الخِتانَ أُمُّ مُوَيسٍ
أَنَّها لَم تَجِد كِرا الخَتّانَه
3. We saw him as tax collector once
And as a tavern keeper otherwhen
٣. قَد رَأَيناهُ وَهوَ والي خَراجٍ
وَعَهِدناهُ وَهوَ خَمّارُ حانَه
