1. And a night I knocked on al-Malikiyah under it
I helped the judgment of youth find lodging
١. وَلَيلٍ طَرَقتُ المالِكِيَّةَ تَحتَهُ
أَجَدَّ عَلى حُكمِ الشَبابِ مَزارا
2. So I mixed the edges of the constellations with stars
And I entered the districts of shining full moons
٢. فَخالَطتُ أَطرافَ الأَسِنَّةِ أَنجُماً
وَدُستُ لِهالاتِ البُدورِ دِيارا
3. And it was nothing but a sip and an embrace
And it pleases me that I loosen my lower garment
٣. فَلَم يَكُ إِلّا رَشفَةٌ وَاِعتِناقَةٌ
وَيُعجِبُني أَنّي أَعُفُّ إِزارا
