وَشادِنٍ في المُجونِ دَلّاني

أَنسَكَ ما كُنتُ بَينَ خِلّاني

And a young gazelle who guided me into licentiousness,

Though I was the most devout among my companions.

قُلتُ لَهُ وَالأَكُفُّ تَأخُذُني

بِأَيِّ وَجهٍ تُراكَ تَلقاني

I said to him, as capturing hands seized me:

"With what face do you dare to meet me?"

فَأَنتَ أَوقَعتَني مُخادَعَةً

في عَمَلٍ لا أَراهُ مِن شاني

"For you have ensnared me through deceit,"

"Into a deed I deem beneath my dignity."

فَقالَ لي ضاحِكاً يُمازِحُني

هَذا جَزاءُ اللوطِيِّ وَالزاني

He replied to me, laughing and jesting:

"This is the recompense of the sodomite and the fornicator."
