وفى عروة العذري إن مت أسوة

1. In Urwa the chaste I have an exemplar should I die,
And Amr son of Ajlan whom Hind had slain,

١. وَفى عُروَةَ العُذريِّ إِن مِتُّ أُسوَةٌ
وَعَمروِ بنِ عَجلانَ الَّذي قَتَلَت هِندُ

2. And my like ending would be theirs, save that unto me
The term allotted is not come as yet, ah no!

٢. وَبي مِثلُ ما ماتا بِهِ غَيرَ أَنَّني
إِلى أَجَلٍ لَم يَأتِني وَقتُهُ بَعدُ

٣. هَلِ الحُبُّ إِلّا عَبرَةٌ بَعدَ عَبرَةٍ
وَحَرٌّ عَلى الأَحشاءِ لَيسَ لَهُ بَردُ

4. A flood of tears is mine at night whenas I call to mind
Some camp, some dwelling place of yours that doth display.

٤. وَفَيضُ دُموعِ العَينِ بِاللَيلِ كُلَّما
بَدا عَلَماً مِن أَرضِكُم لَم يَكُن يَبدو
