1. What makes you suspicious of a raven that flew from
A nest that would be for a falcon a perch
١. ماذا يُريبُكَ مِن غُرابٍ طارَ عَن
وَكرٍ يَكونُ بِهِ لِبازٍ مَسقَطُ
2. Oh shame that in your left hand going
Is the mirror's handle, and in your right hand tweezers
٢. وا فَضحَتا لَكَ في شِمالِكَ غادِياً
عودُ المِراةِ وَفي يَمينِكَ مِلقَطُ
3. Or have you not read the scroll of your fate speaking
Of ruin shaped by disasters and marked by dots
٣. أَوَما قَرَأتَ سِجِلَّ دَهرِكَ ناطِقاً
بِالهُلكِ يُشَكَّلُ بِالخُطوبِ وَيُنقَطُ
