روحي الفِداءُ لِخَدِّهِ القاني الَّذي

بِالعِطرِ مِن مِسكِ العِذارِ تَضمَّخا

My soul is ransom for his supple cheek

Which gained its perfume from the scent of musk

فَأَردتُ تاريخَ العِذارِ فقيلَ لي

هَل يَنبَغي تاريخُه وَتَأرّخا

I wished to date the musk, and I was told:

Is dating needed for the one who dates?
