O thou in the rose-coloured dress! O thou in the rose-coloured dress!
Beloved of my heart! remain with me.
“De-l-hobbë gánee yet’máyal:
Wa-sukrë hálee gufoonuh.
Meddeyt eedee akhud el-kás:
Sekirt ana min ’oyoonuh.
Ya-bu-l-wardee, etc.”
The beloved came to me with a vacillating gait;
And her eyelids were the cause of my intoxication.
I extended my hand to take the cup;
