1. By Him to whom the deer prostrated and for whose pleasure
Many long and dangling forelocks were shorn,
١. أَما وَالَّذِى حَجَّت لَهُ العِيسُ وَارتَمى
لِرِضوانِهِ شَعثٌ طَوِيلٌ ذَمِيلُهَا
2. If the turns of fate should one day cause for me
Over Umm 'Amr a mischance, I shall not forsake it
٢. لَئِن دائراتُ الدَّهرِ يَوماً أَدَرنَ لِى
عَلَى أُمِّ عَمرٍو نَوبةً لا أُقِيلُهَا
