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;
