ذَهَبت يَوماً إِلى الحَمّامِ مُغتَسِلاً

فَشِمت بَدراً بِه عَقلي الرّجيح سُبي

One day I went to the bathhouse, wanting to wash

And I smelled a full moon that captivated my heart and mind

وَجسمهُ كانَ بِالحنّاءِ يَصبِغُهُ

فَشِمتُهُ قَد طَلى البِلَّورَ بالذّهبِ

And his body was dyed with henna

So I smelled him having gilded crystal with gold
