تَناءٍ بِدؤُهُ ذَنبُ التَداني

مِنَ المَسروقِ مِن حورِ الجَنانِ

Our meeting was a sin, the beginning of intimacy

Stolen from the maidens of Paradise

لِخَدَّيهِ دَقائِقُ لَو تَراها

إِذَن لَسَأَلتَ عَنها في المَعاني

On her cheeks subtleties, that if you could see them

You would ask about their meanings

تَساكَتنا وَقَلبانا جَميعاً

بِأَلفاظِ الهَوى يَتَكَلَّمانِ

Our silence and our hearts are both

Speaking with words of passion

وَحارَبَنا غَليلُ الشَوقِ حَتّى

نَزَلنا صاغِرينَ عَلى الأَمانِ

The heat of longing fought us until

We surrendered, begging for peace
