ما للمليحة ما لها

ما للمليحة ما لها

أمسيت تنكر حالها

أمسيت تنكر حالها

What ails the lovely woman—what ails her?

What ails the beauty, what ails her?

You now find her behavior strange.

She began denying her state last night.

مالت إليك بودّها

مالت إليك بودّها

واستكتمتك مقالها

واستكتمتك مقالها

She inclined toward you with her affection,

She inclined toward you with her love,

and asked you to keep her words secret,

And concealed from you her words,

واستنهضتك إلى الوصا

واستنهضتك إلى الوصا

ل وخالفت عذّالها

ل وخالفت عذّالها

and urged you toward union,

And roused you to affection,

and defied her reproachers.

And opposed her mocker,

حتى إذا ما حصّلت

حتى إذا ما حصّلت

ك وأوثقت أعمالها

ك وأوثقت أعمالها

Until, once she had won

Until when she had gotten from you

you and secured her undertakings,

And made fast her deeds,

صدّت وأبدت بالدلا

صدّت وأبدت بالدلا

ل صدودها ودلالها

ل صدودها ودلالها

she turned away and coyly displayed

She turned away and showed with coyness

her aversion and her coquetry.

Her aversion and her flirtation,

حتى إذا أرضيتها

حتى إذا أرضيتها

وأنلتها آمالها

وأنلتها آمالها

Until, when you had pleased her

Until when you had pleased her

and fulfilled her hopes,

And attained her hopes,

ساءلتها إفضالها

ساءلتها إفضالها

مدّت إليك مبالها

مدّت إليك مبالها

you asked her for her bounty—

You asked her generosity—

she proffered her vulva to you.

She extended toward you her refusal.
