1. إلا ربما زار الملاح وربما

    رشفت من الثغر الرضاب المحببا

    Perhaps the sailor visited, and perhaps

    I sipped from the lips the beloved drink

  2. ولما ضممت الخصر من بان قدّها

    لمست بكفيّ البنان المخضبا

    And when she gathered her waist, revealing her bosom

    I touched with my palms the rouged apples

  3. وقبلت رمان النهود وربما

    اضرس مرجان الشفاه المصهبّا

    And kissed the pomegranates of her breasts, and perhaps

    I bit the coral of her reddened lips

  4. وكم بالهوى لما خلعنا عذارنا

    اعضض تفاح الخود المكتبا

    And how often in passion when we shed our veils

    I nibbled on the apples of her cheek
