لو أن رِجْليَ عِرسِه يداها

ما أخطأتْهُ رحمةٌ تغشاها

If only her ankles were his wrist

No mercy would miss him when it covered her

مذ خُلقت مرفوعةً رجلاها

كأنما تستغفرانِ اللهَ

Since her legs were created high

As if they both beg Allah for forgiveness

يلومُهُ الناسُ إنِ اصطفاها

مع الذي يُخبَرُ مِنْ زِناها

People blame him if he chooses her

As for the one who knows her adultery

وخالدٌ يدري لمَ اجتباها

من كان يشفي داءَهُ لولاها

And Khaled knows why he chose her

Who would heal his disease without her?

يمنعها الشيخُ من اشْتهاها

أو يحبس الأصلعَ في دَباها

The old man prevents her from her desire

Or imprisons the bald man in his attraction to her
