وزادَ البردُ يَومين

فقالَ الناسُ ما القصَّه

The cold increased for two days

The people asked what's the story

فقلنا أنشدونا شِع

رَ مروانَ بن أبي حفصَه

We said recite to us poetry

Of Marwan bin Abi Hafsah

فتىً من شَهوةِ النيكِ

بحلقومِ استهِ غُصَّه

A lad craving intimacy

With a throat stuck from modesty

ولو يُرمى ببطيخٍ

لوافى دبرَهُ رصَّه

And if he were to be pelted with a melon

It would meet his rear with perfect aim
