I say, as what appears to be a cheek and temple-lock comes into view:
I say, as a cheek and a temple-lock come into view:
Who owns an apple together with a scepter?
Whose is this apple with a polo mallet?
بُودِّيit is my wish لوif only لَثَمتُهُماI kissed them both جميعاall together
بُودِّي لو لَثَمتُهُما جميعا

ولكنِّي أحاذِرُ صَولَ جانِ
I wish I could kiss them both,
I would love to kiss them both,
yet I fear a jinn’s assault.
But I fear a wrongdoer’s assault.
