يا قوم ما كذب العذول فصدقوا

إني أحب لنورها النوارا

O people, the alluring one did not lie so believe her

I love her for her radiant light

ولساقها ونهودها وخدودها ال

تفاح والرمان والجمارا

And for her legs, breasts, and rosy cheeks like

Apples, pomegranates, and live coals

وإذا رأيت الجلنار حسبته

وجنات من ملأت فؤادي نارا

And when I see her necklace I reckon it

As gardens that filled my heart with fire

بكرٌ تواسينا بها لحظاتها

فنظل بالراح الحلال سكارى

A maiden who cheers us with her glances for moments

So we remain drunk on permitted intimacy

حجب الحياء خدودها بحميمه

فحسبتهن من الذهول عقارا

The veils of modesty redden her cheeks with passion

So I imagined them to be aloes wood from bashfulness
