تموجُ فغادرن صبري جُذاد
She sways, her haunches like mountains;
She sways, and her buttocks, like mountains,
They billow, leaving my patience in fragments.
surge, and have left my patience in fragments.
ولاand no غروwonder أنthat لاذsought refuge وجديmy passion بهاin them
ولا غرو أن لاذ وجدي بها

No wonder my passion sought refuge in her:
No wonder my passion sought refuge in them,
Those, then, are mountains—in them lies refuge.
for those are mountains in which refuge lies.
