1. وأَصبَح بَيتي بِالحَلاواتِ عَاطِراً

    كأَنَّا فَتَقْتا لِلرِّياضِ كَمائِما

    And my house became fragrant with sweets,

    As though we had opened the gardens’ flower buds.

  2. وَقَد رَقصتْ إذْ طابَ وقتيَ شَيختي

    وَبَاتَ مُرِيدُ الشَّيخةِ الليلَ قائِما

    And my sheikha danced when my time grew sweet,

    And the sheikha’s disciple stayed upright all night.
