1. ارفض إخوّةَ مَن نسَك

    والزم مودّةَ من فتَك

    Reject fellowship with the devout,

    And cling to the affection of the dissolute.

  2. وانهص بأيرِكَ مُنعظاً

    وبه فطوّف في السكك

    And rise with your cock erect,

    And with it, roam through the streets.

  3. فإذا لقيتَ مُهَفهفاً

    أحوىً رخيماً قد نسَك

    Then when you encounter a slender-waisted man,

    Dusky and soft-voiced, who has become devout,

  4. فاصهل عليه جامحاً

    صهلَ العِتاقِ على الرمَك

    Then neigh at him, unbridled,

    As thoroughbreds neigh at mares.

  5. واشقق سراويلاتهم

    لا تنتظر حلّ التِكَك

    And rip open their trousers;

    Do not wait for the drawstrings to be untied.
