1. With cheeks reddened by the biting winds
His beauty stirred my deepest desires

2. None but the greatest artist could create
A beauty so exquisite, so pure

3. Not even the radiant sun in all its glory
Nor the crescent moon at its first light

4. Where could one find lips like his
Or greens eyes that pierce the night

5. I asked for a kiss and he pulled away
Turning his daggered gaze my way

6. Why deny me now, what’s mine tonight
When death tomorrow you can’t fight

7. Forget Julanda and Yazid and all the rest
Amr, Amer, Antar and the best

8. I'm not one to shy away in fear
Begging "Give me my coat and bring my spear!"

9. I am death, destruction, devastation
The greatest legend of every nation

10. I worked my charms on him all night
Until he yielded with delight

11. And spent a night of bliss enraptured
In the arms of that beauty uncaptured
