نُبِّئتُ في آلِ زيادٍ فتى

يلقّبُ اليُؤيُؤ حلوٌ ظريف

I was told of a youth in the family of Ziyad

I have been told of a lad among the clan of Ziyad,

Nicknamed “the gentle”, he is sweet and charming

Nicknamed 'The Merlin,' who is sweet and witty,

يبذلُ للزوّارِ وجعاءهُ

صيانةٌ منه لعِرضِ الرغيف

He offers to visitors his pains

He offers his backside to his visitors,

Protecting through this the honor of bread

To preserve thereby the honor of the loaf,

وإنّ في النيكِ لمستمتعاً

عنه اعتياضُ الخبزِ للمستضيف

He takes pleasure in doing good

For truly, in fucking there is an enjoyment,

Not used to receiving bread as a guest

That serves the guest in place of bread.
