1. By your life you cannot be obscure
And how could I forget what will not subside
١. لَعَمرُكَ ما تَستَطيعُ الغُمُوضا
وَكَيفَ ادِّكارُكَ ما لَن يَغيضا
2. None of them achieves swiftly or
With obligations they repay us loans
٢. وَلا مِنهُمُ نائِلٌ عاجِلٌ وَلا
بِالفُرُوضِ جَزَونا قُرُوضا
3. So I said to Hind and Tirb for her
Who called me and others for this loan
٣. فَقُلتُ لِهِندٍ وَتِربٍ لَها
دَعاني وَغَيري بِهَذا فَرُوضا
4. I ransom you from a tender companion
Who turns to the guide a moist eye
٤. فَدَيتُكِ مِن كاعِبٍ ناعِمٍ
تُقَلِّبُ لِلدَّلِّ طَرفاً غَضيضا
5. You say I was ill, so you did not visit me
And how can a sick one visit a sick
٥. تَقُولُ مَرَضتُ فَما عُدتَني
وَكَيفَ يَعُودُ مَرِيضٌ مَرِيضا
