1. أنا ابن حجاج إليه أبي

    ينمي وقلبي من بني عذره

    I am Ibn Hajjaj; to him my father

    traces his lineage, while my heart belongs to Banu 'Udhra.

  2. لم يخل جسمي في الهوى من ضنى

    قط ولا عيني من عبره

    My body, in love, has not been free of wasting,

    ever, nor my eye of tears.

  3. حبائبٌ مثل حصى عكبرا

    والرقبا مثل نوى البصره

    Sweethearts like the pebbles of 'Ukbara,

    and the watchers like Basra's date stones.

  4. حامضة البول ولكن لها

    مستنعظٌ أحلى من التمره

    Her urine is sour, and yet she has

    a part that stirs erections, sweeter than a date.

  5. لها حر درته جرةٌ

    مبعرٌ روثته صخره

    She has a cunt whose pearl is a jar,

    an asshole whose turd is a rock.

  6. فما تلاحظنا سوى مرةٍ

    حتى أتى الشيخ أبو مره

    So we had exchanged no more than one glance

    when the old man Abu Murra arrived.
