لا نَطرُقُ الجاراتِ مِن بَعدِ هَجعَةٍ

مِنَ اللَيلِ إِلّا بِالهَدِيَّةِ تُحمَلُ

We visit not our neighbors after nightfall

Except bearing gifts to grace our sudden call

وَلا يُلطَمُ اِبنُ العَمِّ وَسطَ بُيوتِنا

وَلا نَتَصَبّى عِرسَهُ حينَ يَغفُلُ

Nor vex a cousin midst our household walls

Nor gatecrash his wedding feast as darkness falls
