أصلح ما بين ليل طرته

أصلح ما بين ليل طرته

وبين صبح الجبين فاصطلحا

وبين صبح الجبين فاصطلحا

He made peace between the night of his forelock

Reconcile what's between the night that loses its way

And the dawn of his brow, and the two were reconciled.

And the bright morning, so they make peace

وحبذا ريقه مشعشعة

وحبذا ريقه مشعشعة

وفوه لو جاد لي به قدحا

وفوه لو جاد لي به قدحا

And how lovely his saliva as wine mixed with water,

How wonderful his saliva gleaming

And his mouth, if only he would grant it to me as a cup!

If his mouth would pour me a cup
