1. أَما لَدَيكَ حَلاوَه

    أَما عَلَيكَ طَلاوَه

    Have you no sweetness?

    Is there no charm about you?

  2. طايِب وَداعِب وَلاعِب

    وَدَع سَجايا البَداوَه

    Be pleasant, jest, and play,

    And forsake Bedouin ways;

  3. فَإِنَّ أَوحَشَ شَيءٍ

    جَساوَةٌ في غَباوَه

    For the most repellent thing

    Is harshness coupled with stupidity.
