1. يا خَليلَيَّ وَأُيورُ أَمانَه

    وَالبُظورُ المُبَقَّياتُ دِيانَه

    My friend, those treasured nights gone by

    When modesty cloaked pleasures now laid bare

  2. لَم تُغِبَّ الخِتانَ أُمُّ مُوَيسٍ

    أَنَّها لَم تَجِد كِرا الخَتّانَه

    Umm Muways did not refuse the blade

    But no honor in that blood found there

  3. قَد رَأَيناهُ وَهوَ والي خَراجٍ

    وَعَهِدناهُ وَهوَ خَمّارُ حانَه

    We saw him as tax collector once

    And as a tavern keeper otherwhen
