1. وَباتَت كَدَوداةِ الجَواري وَبَعلُها

    كَثيرٌ دَواعي بَطنِهِ وَقَراقِرُه

    And she spent the night like the girls’ swing, while her husband

    Had many urgings and rumblings in his belly.

  2. وَيَحسَبُها باتَت حَصاناً وَقَد جَرَت

    لَنا بُرَتاها بِالَّذي أَنا شاكِرُه

    And he thinks she spent the night chaste, though

    Her two rings had brought us what I am grateful for.

  3. فَيا رَبِّ إِن تَغفِر لَنا لَيلَةَ النَقا

    فَكُلُّ ذُنوبي أَنتَ يا رَبِّ غافِرُه

    So, my Lord, if You forgive us the night at the sandhill,

    Then every sin of mine, You, my Lord, will forgive.
