1. Solomon's horn has harmed him
With yearning for his beloved's face it will afflict him
١. قِرن سليمان قد أضرَّ به
شوق إلى وجهه سيُدنِفُهُ
2. He turned away from his horn so nothing
Would distract him in the morning
٢. أعرض عن قرنه وصدَّ فما
أصبح شيء عليه يعطفه
3. How often the horn promises a meeting yet
How often it lies in its promise and betrays him
٣. كم يَعِدُ القرن باللقاء وكم
يكذب في وعده ويخلفه
4. The horn knows not his beloved's face though it sees
His rear from a mile away and recognizes him
٤. لا يعرف القِرنُ وجهه ويرى
قفاه من فرسخ فيعرفه
