1. Then I awakened her, and she extended 
A mouthful that showed no comprehension of words.  
١. ثُمَّ نَبَّهتُها فَمَدَّت كَعاباً
 طَفلَةً ما تُبينُ رَجعَ الكَلامِ
2. For a while she was silent, then she said to me, 
"Woe to me! How soon you have awakened, O son of noble ones!" 
٢. ساعَةً ثُمَّ إِنَّها لِيَ قالَت
 وَيلَتا قَد عَجِلتَ يا اِبنَ الكِرامِ
