أَهلاً وَسَهلاً بِمَن في النَومِ أَلقاها

وَحَبَّذا طَيفُها لَو كانَ آتاها

Welcome, welcome to she who in sleep has cast us,

And blessed is her phantom, if it would but come to us.

يا حَبَّذا شَعَثُ المِسواكِ مِن فَمِها

إِذا سَقَتهُ عُقاراً مِن ثَناياها

Oh how blessed is the dishevelment of her toothstick in her mouth,

When she has moistened it with a draught from her lips.
