1. تَرَكَتْنا بِطيبِها إِذْ تَغَنَّتْ

    شَغَفٌ بَيْنَ أَنَّةٍ ونَحَيبِ

    Her sweetness as she sang left us

    consumed with passion, between a moan and sobbing.

  2. طِبَّةٌ بِالغِناءِ فَهي لأَسْقا

    مِ النُّدامى لَطافَةً كَالطَّبيبِ

    Skilled in song, she is, for the ailments

    of drinking companions, like a physician in her gentleness.

  3. أَلِفَتْها القُلوبُ لَمّا رَأَتْها

    صَاغَها اللهُ مِنْ سَوادِ القُلوبِ

    Hearts grew fond of her when they saw her;

    God fashioned her from the blackness of hearts.
