عجبْتُ في رمضانَ منْ مغنِّيةٍ

بديعةِ الحسنِ إلاّ أنها ابتدعَتْ

I was amazed in Ramadan by a singer

Of perfect beauty, except that she was innovative

جاءتْ تسحِّرنا ليلاً فقلتُ لها

كيفَ السحورُ وهذي الشمسُ قدْ طلعتْ

She came to give us suhoor at night, so I said to her

How is suhoor when the sun has already risen?
