لَيالِيَnights تَستَبيكَshe captivates you بِجيدِwith the neck of رِئمٍa white gazelle
لَيالِيَ تَستَبيكَ بِجيدِ رِئمٍ
وَمَفلوقٍand a cleft vulva عَلَيهِover it الفَرمُthe tightening salve يَجريflows
وَمَفلوقٍ عَلَيهِ الفَرمُ يَجري
nights when she captivated you with a white gazelle’s neck,
Nights that weep down the cheek of a loving gazelle
and a cleft vulva over which the tightening salve flowed.
With a slit upon which the tears flow
