1. أفاطمُ يا تربَ النجوم تَركتِني

    مُنادِمَها ليلاً ولستِ بنادِمَهْ

    O Fatima, peer of the stars, you have left me

    Their drinking companion by night, while you feel no regret.

  2. فَها أَرضِعي من درِّ ريقِكِ هائماً

    جوانحُهُ حولَ المَوارِدِ حائِمَهْ

    So come, suckle a love-crazed man with the milk of your saliva,

    Whose ribs hover around the watering places.

  3. ولولا مُحالاتُ المُنى ما وجدتنِي أَرومُ

    رضاعاً منكِ واسمُكِ فَاطِمَهْ

    And were it not for hope’s impossibilities, you would not find me seeking

    Suckling from you, though your name is Fatima.
