1. Of ample hips, slender waist
Ruby cheeks, lips of silver taste
١. وَظالِمَةِ الأَردافِ مَظلومَةِ الخَصرِ
عَقيقَةِ الخَدَّينِ فِضَيَّةِ الثَغرِ
2. She greeted me, a bride newly dressed
Adorned with beads of dew, the fairest
٢. سَقَتني عَروساً قَد كَسَتها زُجاجَةً
وَخاطَت لَها بِالماءِ طَوقاً مِنَ الدُرِّ
3. In a garden lost, by a cypress blessed
Swaying, its green locks caressed
٣. لَدى رَوضَةٍ تاهَت بِسَروٍ كَأَنَّهُ
وَصائِفُ صافَت في غَلائِلِها الخَضرِ
4. I regaled her with drinks, as was meet
Till in sweet drunkenness, we were both complete
٤. فَوَفَّيتُها بِالشُربِ ما تَستَحِقُّهُ
إِلى أَن تَوَفّاني بِها مَلَكُ السَكرِ
