1. I once spent some time alone with a beautiful woman
In a gathering where her chaperone was absent
١. لِلَّهِ غانِيَةٌ يَوماً خَلَوتُ بِها
في مَجلِسٍ غابَ عَنّا فيهِ واشيها
2. Each of us desired intimacy with the other
Were it not for a little shyness, we'd have fulfilled our wishes
٢. كُلٌّ لَهُ حاجَةٌ مِن وَصلِ صاحِبِهِ
لَولا يَسيرُ حَياءٍ كادَ يَقضيها
3. Our eyes exchanged meaningful glances
Our hearts knew their meaning, though we hid it
٣. وَلِلعُيونِ رِسالاتٌ مُرَدَّدَةٌ
تَدري القُلوبُ مَعانيها وَنُخفيها
