The slender-waisted one is hollow inside

مخطف الخصر أجوف

1. The slender-waisted one is hollow inside
His neck is weaker than the rest of him

١. مُخْطَفُ الخَصْرِ أَجْوَفٌ
جِيْدُهُ ضِعْفُ سَائِرِهْ

2. His words are a lover's words
Complaining of his departed one's estrangement

٢. لَفْظُهُ لَفْظُ عَاشِقٍ
يَشْتَكِي هَجْرَ هَاجِرِهْ

3. With two tongues above him
They were made equal to his proportions

٣. ذُو لِسَانَيْنَ فَوْقَهُ
عَدَّلاَ مِنْ مَقَادِرِهْ

4. A skilled man's hand brought him to speech
Of languid gaze and magic

٤. أَنْطَقَتْهُ يَدُ امْرِيءٍ
فَاتِرِ اللَّحْظِ سَاحِرِهْ

5. So he told of what was in his conscience
What transpired in his thoughts

٥. فَحَكَى عَنْ ضَمِيْرِهِ
مَا جَرَى فِي خَوَاطِرِهْ
