1. زِدْني منَ العَذلِ فيها أيُّها اللاحي

    إنَّ الفُؤادَ إليها جِدُّ مُرتاحِ

    Reproach me still more over her, O reproacher.

    Indeed, the heart is most eager for her.

  2. بيضاءُ تنظُرُ من طَرْفٍ تُقلِّبُهُ

    مُفَرِّقٌ بينَ أجسامِ وأرواحِ

    Fair-skinned, she gazes with an eye she turns—

    one that parts bodies from souls.

  3. ماءُ النَّعيمِ على دِيباجِ وَجنتها

    يجولُ بين جَنى وردٍ وتُفَّاحِ

    The water of bliss upon her cheek's brocade

    flows between the fruit of roses and apples.

  4. رقَّتْ فلو مُزِجَ الماءُ القَراحُ بها

    والرّاحُ لامتزَجَتْ بالماءِ والرَّاحِ

    So delicate is she that, were pure water mixed with her

    and wine, she would mingle with the water and wine.
