1. A sparrow called out one day on shoots of artemisia
And shouted to her who was separated from him, to his raven
١. دَعَا صُرَدٌ يَوماً عَلَى عُودِ شَوحَطٍ
وصاحَ بِذاتِ البَينِ مِنها غُرابُها
2. So I said, a sparrow and artemisia and separation -
By my life, this is indeed her remoteness and estrangement
٢. فَقُلتُ أَتَصريدٌ وشَحطٌ وغُربَةٌ
فَهَذا لَعَمري نَأيُها واغترِابها
