1. إِنَّما هاجَ لِقَلبي

    شَجوَهُ بَعدَ المَشيبِ

    Only this stirred within my heart

    Its sorrow after my hair had grayed:

  2. نَظرَةٌ قَد وَقَرَت في القَلبِ

    مِن أُمِّ حَبيبِ

    A glance that had lodged in the heart

    From Umm Habib.

  3. فَإِذا ما ذُقتَ فاها

    ذُقت عَذباً ذا غُروبِ

    And whenever you taste her mouth,

    You taste a sweet mouth with fine-edged teeth,

  4. خالَطَ الراحَ بِمِسكٍ

    خالِصٍ غَيرِ مَشوبِ

    Blending wine with musk,

    Pure and unadulterated.
