1. She struck me with her palm,
The daughter of Ma'n son of Za'ida,

2. She struck me and caused pain,
By my father, that one who strikes!

3. And you see her sitting with the eunuch
At the door,

4. Behaving coquettishly with sly intent,
She struck me and exceeded the limit,

5. With more than one stroke,
Strike me and I will strike back,

6. For you are only a mother to me.
