1. Thurayya said to her friends with picked fruit,
"Arise, let us greet Abu al-Khattab from the mound,

2. So break into love on account of what she said and its circulation
Like gilded statues,

3. Wearing silk robes
And brocade and damask silk.

4. You see jewelry studded with pearls upon them
Along with emeralds and ruby like embers,

5. A girl said to them I thought was
Flirtatious in her speech and play,

6. "This is an open, public place—no concealment in it!
Do you not fear enemies and slavery?"
