1. وَقَد كُنتُ في ذاكَ الزَمانِ الَّذي مَضى

    أُزارُ وَيَدعوني الهَوى فَأَزورُ

    I was in that bygone era

    When passion would call me, so I visited

  2. فَإِن فاتَني إِلفٌ ظَلَلتُ كَأَنَّما

    يُديرُ حَياتي في يَدَيهِ مُديرُ

    If a loved one left me, I lingered as though

    My life was in his hands to direct

  3. وَمُرتَجَّةِ الأَردافِ مَهضومَةِ الحَشا

    تَحورُ بِسحرٍعَينُها وَتَدورُ

    With a swaying backside and soft buttocks

    Her eyes would enchant and turn

  4. إِذا نَظَرَت صَبَّت عَلَيكَ صَبابَةً

    وَكادَت قُلوبُ العالَمينَ تَطيرِ

    When she glanced, she poured sweetness over you

    And almost made the hearts of all fly

  5. خَلَوتُ بِها لا يَخلُصُ الماءُ بَينَنا

    إِلى الصُبحِ دوني حاجِبٌ وَسُتورُ

    I was alone with her, no water came between us

    Till dawn, with only a curtain and wall between us
