1. شارَفتُ بِمُلتَقى القِبابِ الجونِ

    بيضاً سحرت بلبّيَ المَفتونِ

    I drew near, where the black tents meet,

    to fair women who bewitched my spellbound mind.

  2. يَكشِفنَ وُجوهَهُنَّ زَهواً لَكِن

    يَضربنَ مِن العَفافِ سَدّاً دوني

    They unveil their faces proudly, yet

    raise a barrier of chastity before me.
