In passion, and whom I cannot
١. بأبي من أعارني
في الهوى سُقمَ خَصرِهِ
2. Disobey, though he went against
My will, hisglance led me to him
٢. والذي لستُ أَستَطي
ع خلافا لأمرهِ
3. As guide with its sorcery.
He embraces epochs of beauty
٣. قادني لحظُه إليه
دليلا بسحرهِ
4. With all its advisoriness.
He urges in my garden and meadow
٤. قد حوى حُسنَهُ زما

٥. حَث في روض وجنتيه
لنا خَمرُ ثَغرِهِ
6. And clung to his hair.
٦. فاصطبَحنا بوجهه
واغتبقنا بشَعرِهِ
