1. I said to the dog when he passed by, “Get lost!”
It was as if I had pierced your heart.
١. قُلتُ لِلكَلبِ حينَ مَرَّ بِيَ اِخسَأ
فَكَأَنّي كَوَيتُ قَلبَكَ كَيّا
2. Do you think I consider you a dog?
To me, you are a gazelle when you bark.
٢. أَتَرى أَنَّني أَعُدُّكَ كَلباً
أَنتَ عِندي إِذا نَبَحتَ الثُرَيّا
