لو قيلَ مَن بِني الحَمراءِ قاطبة

يسبِي عُقولَ البرَايا قلتُ بَلُوطُ

If it's said, who in all of Banu Hamraa

Captivates minds completely, I say it's Oleander

قالُوا إذن لو بَدا بحُسنِ طَلعَتِه

لِقَومِ لُوطٍ لَهامُوا قلتُ بل لُوطُ

They say, If its beauty appeared

To the people of Lot, they would be inflamed, I say no, Lot
