هَوى وَغَلَت بِهِ الأَحشاء مِنها

إِلى حَيثُ اِستَقَرَّ بِهِ مَداها

Passion surged and overflowed from within

To where its extent had settled into place

جَرى وَالماءُ في سَنَن فَلما اِن

تَهَت بِالماءِ غايَتُهُ طَواها

It flowed as water flows in its channels but when

Its end was reached by the water, it concealed it

فَحَلَّ بِحَيثُ لَم يَبلُغ شَراب

وَلَم تحلل بِهِ أُنثى سِواها

So it settled where no drink could reach

And no female but it was dissolved by it
