سَألْتُ مِنْ عَارِضِهِ قُبْلَةً

كَيْ أجْتَني سُقْيَا منَ العَارِضِ

I asked for a kiss from the one who was passing by

So I could quench my thirst from the one who was passing by

فَقَالَ قَدْ صَيَّرْتُهُ عُدَّةً

فَقُلْتُ لاَ يُعْتَدُّ بِالْعَارِضِ

He said he had made it a habit

So I said fleeting things are not to be counted upon
