ألا رب يوم نكت علقاً وقحبةً

ألا رب يوم نكت علقاً وقحبةً

أقول لأيري بعدما قد أتاهما

أقول لأيري بعدما قد أتاهما

Ah, many a day I fucked a catamite and a whore;

Alas! My Lord, I was a sperm and she an egg,

I say to my cock, after it has had them both:

I say to them both after what has come upon them,

حللت بهذا حلة ثم حلةً

حللت بهذا حلة ثم حلةً

بهذا فطاب الواديان كلاهما

بهذا فطاب الواديان كلاهما

"You lodged in this one for a stay, then for a stay

I adorned them with this garment and then that garment,

in that one—so both valleys became pleasant."

With this the two valleys were made fragrant, both of them.
