1. I see you knocking on every door
Like Allah's will occurring every night
١. أَراكَ الدَهرَ تَطرُقُ كُلَّ دارٍ
كَأَمرِ اللَهِ يَحدُثُ كُلَّ لَيلَه
2. If the veil was too thick and impenetrable
And you couldn't get inside
٢. فَإِن غَلَظَ الحِجابُ وَكانَ صَعباً
وَلَم تَقدِر هُناكَ عَلى دُخَيلَه
3. You took a roundabout way to speak to them
And said, I left my sandal here
٣. أَخَذَت لِكَي تُخاطِبَهُم خِلالاً
وَقُلتَ نَسيتُ عِندَكُمُ نُعَيلَه
4. So you share their feast
And hasten to the white camel calves
٤. فَتَلتَهِمُ الخِوانَ بِما عَلَيهِ
وَتَبدُرُهُم إِلى بَيضِ البُقَيلَه
5. And eat freely
For your wedding must have revelry
٥. وَتَأكُلُ أَكلَ مَيسَرَةٍ وَأَيضاً
فَلا بُدَّ لِعِرسِكَ مِن زُلَيلَه
6. And by your skill you have children
And she by what she yields has children
٦. وَأَنتَ بِفَضلِ حِذقِكَ ذا طُفَيلٌ
وَتِلكَ بِما تُزِلُّ لَها طُفَيلَه
