أفدي صغيراً مرَّ بي متخفِّرا

أفدي صغيراً مرَّ بي متخفِّرا

والغُصْنُ منه بالجمال منوَّرُ

والغُصْنُ منه بالجمال منوَّرُ

I would give my life for a little lad who passed by me shyly.

A little one passed by me concealing himself

And his bough-like form is radiant with beauty.

And the branch was illuminated by his beauty

وكذا البنان ترى التفاضل بينها

وكذا البنان ترى التفاضل بينها

وأَجلّ مختتم بهنّ الخنصرُ

وأَجلّ مختتم بهنّ الخنصرُ

Likewise, you see differences in merit among the fingers.

And so were the fingers, you see the difference between them

And the noblest ring-wearer among them is the little finger.

And the most beautiful adorned with ring fingers
