سَكرَتُها في كفِّها

سَكرَتُها في كفِّها

وسكرتي في طرفها

وسكرتي في طرفها

Her intoxication is in her palm,

Her intoxication in her palm,

and mine is in her gaze.

and my intoxication in her glance.

وخدُّها تفاحةٌ

وخدُّها تفاحةٌ

لو سامحتْ بقطفِها

لو سامحتْ بقطفِها

And her cheek is an apple—

Her cheek an apple -

if only she would consent to its plucking.

if only she'd allow it to be plucked!

وشعرها منتصرٌ

وشعرها منتصرٌ

لخصرها من رِدفها

لخصرها من رِدفها

And her hair takes vengeance

Her hair victorious,

for her waist upon her buttocks.

for her hips, for her frame.

به أُديلَ نصفُها

به أُديلَ نصفُها

في مشيها من نصفها

في مشيها من نصفها

Through it, one half of her was granted victory

With it she revealed half of herself,

in her walk over the other half.

in her walk, from her half.
