وثُدِيٌّ ناهداتٌ

وثُدِيٌّ ناهداتٌ

لم يُخَضِّدها العناقُ

لم يُخَضِّدها العناقُ

And the breasts of full-bosomed women,

And firm, swelling breasts

which embracing has not lowered;

That embraces have not crushed;

بينها حلي نفيس

بينها حلي نفيس

كفؤه تلك الحقاق

كفؤه تلك الحقاق

between them lies precious jewelry,

Between them lies precious jewelry—

as though it were those caskets,

Those little caskets are its match—

في صدور ساليات

في صدور ساليات

لم يُلَذِّعها الفراق

لم يُلَذِّعها الفراق

upon the bosoms of women heedless of love,

In the bosoms of untroubled women

whom separation has never stung.

Whom parting has not seared.
