1. I was in that bygone era
When passion would call me, so I visited
١. وَقَد كُنتُ في ذاكَ الزَمانِ الَّذي مَضى
أُزارُ وَيَدعوني الهَوى فَأَزورُ
2. If a loved one left me, I lingered as though
My life was in his hands to direct
٢. فَإِن فاتَني إِلفٌ ظَلَلتُ كَأَنَّما
يُديرُ حَياتي في يَدَيهِ مُديرُ
3. With a swaying backside and soft buttocks
Her eyes would enchant and turn
٣. وَمُرتَجَّةِ الأَردافِ مَهضومَةِ الحَشا
تَحورُ بِسحرٍعَينُها وَتَدورُ
4. When she glanced, she poured sweetness over you
And almost made the hearts of all fly
٤. إِذا نَظَرَت صَبَّت عَلَيكَ صَبابَةً
وَكادَت قُلوبُ العالَمينَ تَطيرِ
5. I was alone with her, no water came between us
Till dawn, with only a curtain and wall between us
٥. خَلَوتُ بِها لا يَخلُصُ الماءُ بَينَنا
إِلى الصُبحِ دوني حاجِبٌ وَسُتورُ
