Her breath sugar and honey,

And her fine set of teeth resemble the hailstones

Which the winter in its fury sows over our land.

Her neck is as the standard which our warriors plant in the ground

To defy the enemy and rally the runaways,

And her faultless body outvies the marble

Which is used for building the pillars of our mosques.

Fair as the moon around which gathers the night,

She shines like a star undimmed by a cloud.

Tell her that she has wounded her lover
