يا خَليلَيَّ وَأُيورُ أَمانَه
وَالبُظورُ المُبَقَّياتُ دِيانَه
My friend, those treasured nights gone by
When modesty cloaked pleasures now laid bare
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
قَد رَأَيناهُ وَهوَ والي خَراجٍ
وَعَهِدناهُ وَهوَ خَمّارُ حانَه
We saw him as tax collector once
And as a tavern keeper otherwhen
