We journeyed to the King of Dauphiny

سرينا إلى الملك الدوفنيي

1. We journeyed to the King of Dauphiny
But we did not praise the journey

١. سَرَينا إِلى المَلِكِ الدُوفِنِييِّ
وَلَكِنَّنا ما حَمَدنا السُّرى

2. So time brought us down to dwell
In a place of abundant cares and little sustenance

٢. فَأَنزَلنا الدَّهرُ في مَنزِلٍ
كَثيرِ الهُمومِ قَليلِ الكَرى

3. We remain with the Romans there, so we
Only interact with the dogs of the earth

٣. نَظَلُّ مَعَ الرُّومِ فيهِ فَما
نُعاشِرُ إِلّا كِلابَ الوَرى

4. With spirits long but abilities short above the soil
And below the burial grounds

٤. طوالَ القُرونِ قِصار النُّفو
سِ فَوقَ الثُّرَيّا وَتَحتَ الثَّرى

5. Ignorant, for they never understood tolerance
Nor heard the talk of towns

٥. مَجاهِيلُ ما فَطنوا بِالسَّماح
وَلا سَمِعوا بِحَديثِ القِرى

6. Rather, with their guest they ask for what they want
But, by my life, if he buys something

٦. بَلى عِندَ ضَيفِهِمُ ما يُريدُ
وَلَكِن لَعَمري إِذا ما اشتَرى

7. And if he stays with them
The homes do not become too many

٧. وَإِن كانَ عِندَهُمُ ثاوِياً
فَما تَتَعَدَّدُ دورُ الكرى
