وَشَت خَدّها بِالياسَمين تَزيّناً
فَأَمسَكَهُ وَالخدُّ وَاللَّه عَندمُ
Her cheek adorned with jasmine
He held it, and by God the cheek still held
وَمِن عادَةِ الكافورِ إِمساكُهُ الدّما
وَفي خَدِّها الكافورُ أَمسَكَهُ الدّمُ
The blood, as camphor in its nature stays blood
The camphor in her cheek had stayed the blood
