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
