1. With my own self I embraced and kissed him
My embrace almost scattered his necklace
١. بنفسيَ من عانقْتُه ولثمتُه
فكاد عناقي أَن ينثَّرَ عقدَه
2. My reckless kiss wandered above his cheek
And I was excessive until his rose almost withered
٢. وأَفرطَ لثْمي حائراً فوق خدِّه
وأَسرف حتى كاد يُذْبلُ وردَهُ
3. I was jealous of him from every touching hand
And from my jealousy I tore his cheek with a kiss
٣. أَغار عليه من يديْ كلِّ لامس
ومن غيرتي مزَّقت باللَّثم خدَّه
