1. I once said to the one with a slender waist,
Above the delicate, thin fabric:

2. I see no one in creation that resembles you
In the Creator's skillful handiwork.

3. You have, from your erect stature,
A branch that smells sweet in an embrace.

4. He laughed and said: But do you not hear
What the people of Iraq say?

5. All sugar cane you have not tasted
Its flavor is not made lawful to the taste.
