1. He came to us carrying a beard
God suffice you and me
١. جاءنا يحملُ ذقْناً
حسبُك اللهُ وحسْبي
2. If her hair were poetry
It would be like Al-Mutanabbi's
٢. شعرُها لو كان شِعراً
كان مثلَ المتنبي
3. She left his chest tanned
With a mark under his shirt
٣. تركتْ صُدرتَهُ السوْ
داءَ منها تحت قَبِّ
4. And above his chest she blocked
Him from east to west
٤. وهي فوقَ الصّدرِ قد سد
تْهُ من شرقٍ لغَرْبِ
5. A beard that made people reject him
No police record or grant
٥. لحيةٌ ردّتْهُ في النا
سِ ولا ضرطةَ وهْبِ
