1. لا سُقِيَتْ حانةُ أُتْرُجَّةٍ

    غَيْثاً ولا حانةُ مولودِها

    May Utrujja's tavern never be watered

    with rain, nor her offspring's tavern.

  2. مخضوبَةٌ بالخَمْرِ جاءَتْ بهِ

    مُختَضَباً من دمِ عُنقودِها

    Stained with wine, she brought him forth,

    stained with the blood of her grape cluster.

  3. تَعذيبُهُ العُشّاقَ تَعذيبُها

    ووعدُه نُسخَةُ موعودَها

    His tormenting of lovers is just like hers,

    and his promise is a copy of what she promises.

  4. فَبَظْرُها إذ ولَدَتْ مِثلَهْ

    أَولَى بعِقْدِ الدُّرِّ مِنْ جيدِها

    So her clitoris, since she bore one like him,

    is worthier of a pearl necklace than her neck.

  5. كنتُ لها صَيداً ولكننَّي

    أفلَتُّ من وَرْطَةِ سَفُّودِها

    I was her prey, but I

    escaped the peril of her roasting spit.
