Be generous with a kiss upon

Come closer with a kiss upon my cheek

me, and set aside your excessive reserve.

And leave aside your excessive shyness

بفمي فوق وجْنتِك

I only chose to see,

I just wanted to see

with my mouth upon your cheek,

With my mouth above your cheek

طابَعاً فوق وَرْدِها

طابَعاً فوق وَرْدِها

A mark above its rose

bearing witness for me to your visit.

A token for me of your visit
