1. I say to a lover who came visiting when
The cock's army massed and drew nigh:
١. أقُولُ لِعَسْكَرٍ قَدْ زَارَ لَمَّا
تَرَاكَمَ عَسْكرُ الدَّاجي وأطْبَقْ
2. "Leave off pique and join me, for
I fear dawn may envy us and break."
٢. دَعِ العُتْبَى وَواصِلْنِي فَإني
أخافُ الصُّبْحُ يحسدنَا فَيَنْشَقّ
