قَبّلْتُهُ حُلْوَ المَراشِفِ أسْمَرا

وأجَبْتُهُمْ إذْ عاتَبوني لَيْلَتَهْ

I kissed him, sweet upon the pillow, dark

And answered them when they reproached me that night

هوَ مُشْبِهٌ للنّحْلِ في أوصافِه

أفَمُنْكَرٌ أنّي أذُوقُ عُسَيْلَتَهْ

He resembles bees in his attributes

Is it odd that I should taste his honey?
