أفدِي مليحاً أسوداً فاح شذا

أفدِي مليحاً أسوداً فاح شذا

مسكٍ لنا فقَّاعه وشكله

مسكٍ لنا فقَّاعه وشكله

I would ransom a black-skinned beauty; a fragrance wafted

Of musk to us from his foaming drink and his form.

كأنه نادى على حليته

كأنه نادى على حليته

فقال فقاعي مسك كله

فقال فقاعي مسك كله

As though he were calling out to advertise his beauty,

He said, “My foaming drink is all musk.”
