أفدي الذي سادَ الحسانَ ملاحةً

أفدي الذي سادَ الحسانَ ملاحةً

حتى تواضعَ كلهم لسيادتهْ

حتى تواضعَ كلهم لسيادتهْ

I would give my life for him who surpassed the fair in loveliness,

I ransom the one who excelled in beauty and charm

until they all humbled themselves before his supremacy.

Until all bowed to his supremacy

ضاجعتُه والوردُ تحتَ لحافهِ

ضاجعتُه والوردُ تحتَ لحافهِ

ولثمتُه والبدرُ فوقَ وسادتهْ

ولثمتُه والبدرُ فوقَ وسادتهْ

I lay with him, the roses beneath his blanket,

I lay with him, roses beneath his sheets

and kissed him, the full moon above his pillow.

I kissed him, the full moon above his pillow
