1. As though you never settled in the mix
With a home between the anemones and isolation
١. كَأَن لَم تَرَبَّع في الخَلِيطِ مُقِيمةً
بِتَنهِيَةٍ بَينَ الشَقائقِ فَالعَزلِ
2. And no more horses housing their people
On alarmed sides of a mount to the ruins
٢. وَلَم تَعدُ أَفراسٌ يُبَوِّئنَ أَهلَها
عَلى وَجَلٍ جَنبَي سَرارٍ إِلى الدَحلِ
3. And I am not, though they tease me with a perished one,
Lightweights, nor a defeated one losing his mind
٣. وَلَستُ وَإِن عَزُّوا عَليَّ بِهالِكٍ
خُفاتاً ولَا مُستَهزِمٍ ذاهِبِ العَقلِ
