بنفسيَ من عانقْتُه ولثمتُه

فكاد عناقي أَن ينثَّرَ عقدَه

With my own self I embraced and kissed him

My embrace almost scattered his necklace

وأَفرطَ لثْمي حائراً فوق خدِّه

وأَسرف حتى كاد يُذْبلُ وردَهُ

My reckless kiss wandered above his cheek

And I was excessive until his rose almost withered

أَغار عليه من يديْ كلِّ لامس

ومن غيرتي مزَّقت باللَّثم خدَّه

I was jealous of him from every touching hand

And from my jealousy I tore his cheek with a kiss
