1. In God's name, tell me, does your red cheek
Or your yellow one feel softer to the touch?

2. Jafar, you have excelled in your singing
You have surpassed those who excel, O Jafar!

3. You have delighted us, you are never without delight
You have intoxicated those of us not prone to intoxication

4. Your voice is musk, ambergris, and whenever
Musk and ambergris are compared to it

5. Your glance is a sword, a dagger, and whenever
The sword and dagger are compared to you

6. You have excelled, excelled in singing indeed
O essence that scatters pearls as it flows!
