1. I became accustomed to being alone and remained in my home
So solitude became pleasant for me and joy grew
١. أَنِستُ بِوَحدَتي وَلَزِمتُ بَيتي
فَطابَ الأُنسُ لي وَنَما السُرورُ
2. Time has disciplined me so I do not care
I was abandoned so I neither console nor visit
٢. فَأَدَّبَني الزَمانُ فَلا أُبالي
هُجِرتُ فَلا أُزار وَلا أَزورُ
3. And I am not one who asks, as long as I live,
Whether the army was captured or the prince rode off
٣. وَلَستُ بِسائِلٍ ما دُمتُ حَيّاً
أَسارَ الجَيشُ أَم رَكِبَ الأَميرُ
