قلتُ لهُ طبتَ يا فتى لينا

وفِقْتَ حسْناً وَرِقْتَ إحسانا

I said to him, "Good morning to you, O young man,

You have attained virtue and excelled in kindness.

قلبي أتاكمْ وخالفُني لِمَهْ

قالَ نعمْ مذْ عشقتَ لبّانا

My heart came to you though I opposed it,

He said "Yes, since you fell in love with Labbanah."
