حَذّارُ مُدبِرَةٌ سَكّاءُ مُقبِلَةٌ

لِلماءِ في النَحرِ مِنها نَوطَةٌ عَجَبُ

A sly one, coming and going, thirsty at the water hole

With a lovely spot upon her throat of wondrous beauty

تَدعو القَطا وَبِها تُدعى إِذا نُسِبَت

يا حُسنَها حينَ تَدعوها فَتَنتَسِبُ

She calls to the tomcat, and is called when she is named

Oh, her beauty when she calls to him and responds back
