Did he not quench my thirst with the saliva of his mouth

ألم يسقيني سلافة ريقه

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
