1. يا بأبي من هواه أقسم لي

    ألاَّ يني القلب منه في شغلِ

    O, may my father be ransom for him whose love has sworn to me

    That the heart would never tire of being absorbed in him.

  2. هزَّت بريح الشباب قامته

    وأُدميت وجنتاه بالقبل

    His figure was swayed by the breeze of youth,

    And his cheeks were bloodied by kisses.

  3. فانقدَّ قدُّ القضيبِ من دَهَشٍ

    واحمرَّ خدُّ الشقيقِ من خجل

    So the branch's form split apart in astonishment,

    And the anemone's cheek reddened with shame.
