ذيب نرهن ذا الغفاره

ونرده في غباره

The wolf threatens the forgiving one

And we return him to his dust

ونقول اسقين حوحو

ونميل من حيط لأخر

And we say give me the bucket

And we lean from one wall to another

ويقولوا حن يروني

سكر هي من الف شاهر

And they say when they see me

Drunk for a thousand months

كن زوج للتوب لاكن

لم تكن عندي بماهر

Be a husband for repentance, but

You were not with me skillful

لول خوفي للإماره

مابقا منّه إماره

If not for my fear of the emirate

Nothing would remain of it

ريت من تب قبل منها

عاد يجبرط هو عليها

I wish that he who repented before it

Returns to compel it upon her

الرياه منه يمنع

والقلوب تحن إليها

The shepherd prevents it from him

And the hearts yearn for it

وسمّي فهذا الأيّم

والثمار تنشر حليها

And call it, for these are the days

And the fruits spread their adornment

أي عروسا بخماره

تسحر النس بخماره

O bride with her veil

Who captivates souls with her veil

لول حب ذا الفلانا

ما كنجنح للتصاب

If not for the love of that guy

I would not have inclined to discord

حسنها أخذن غفلا

وم يكن شي في حساب

Her beauty took me unprepared

And there was nothing in the account

بعد ما نوّر عذاري

والبياض رجع خضاب

After he enlightened the chaste

And the whiteness returned to kohl

ليست للحسن شاره

ورمست قلبي إشاره

Beauty has no excellence

And she drew my heart an indication

بسهام من لحظ ان احور

وشفار ان با بليّا

With arrows from the glance of a fawn

And lips of a juicy date

وجسم أبيض مدلفن

مثل جبنة ان طريّا

And a white body clad

Like cheese from Tareea

رمت نرجع لها سفج

رجعت تقلي عليّا

She threw me a flaming glance

She returned to blame me

وتقول عني لجاره

الفقير مالو تجاره

And she says about me to her neighbor

The poor one has no trade

رب ينصر الخليفا

الذي يعطي ويغني

May God grant victory to the Caliph

Who gives and enriches

المزاح غلب عليّا

والهوى لشنّه فنّي

Playfulness has overcome me

And passion has perfected his art in me

ماه فن يا رقيعا

غير نمدح ونهنّي

What is the art, O juicy one

Other than we praise and celebrate

للذّي يفني النصاره

وصل اللّه انتصاره

The one who destroys the Christians

And God made his victory
