1. Did he not quench my thirst with the saliva of his mouth
And for a while revive me with the wine of his excuse?
١. أَلَم يُسَقِّيَني سُلافَةَ ريقِهِ
وَطَوراً يُحَيِّني بِآسِ عِذارِ
2. So I attained the desire of my soul through his kiss
I perceived upon it a scent of magnolia
٢. فَنِلتُ مُرادَ النَفسِ مِن أُقحُوانَةٍ
شَمَمتُ عَلَيها نَفحَةً لِعَرارِ
3. And a face whose moles in the apple of his cheek
Were like crumbled musk over a brazier's embers
٣. وَوَجهٍ تَخالُ الخالَ في صَحنِ خَدِّهِ
فُتاتَةَ مِسكٍ فَوقَ جُذوَةِ نارِ
