وأَصبَح بَيتي بِالحَلاواتِ عَاطِراً

كأَنَّا فَتَقْتا لِلرِّياضِ كَمائِما

My house is fragrant with sweets

As if we had opened the gardens' buds

وَقَد رَقصتْ إذْ طابَ وقتيَ شَيختي

وَبَاتَ مُرِيدُ الشَّيخةِ الليلَ قائِما

My old woman danced when my time was good

And the old woman's lover passed the night awake
