When she leaned on a soft wrist,

فلما لوين على معصم

1. When she leaned on a soft wrist,
And bloodstained hands with bracelets,

١. فَلمّا لَوينَ عَلى مِعصَمٍ
وَكفٍّ خَضيبٍ وإِسوارِها

2. The excess of her pride made her bow down
The bow of Christians to their monks.

٢. فضولَ أَزمّتِها أَسجَدت
سُجودَ النَّصارى لأَحبارِها

3. So do not feel safe from the sleep of death,
And be cautious to the extent of its claws.

٣. فَلا تأمَننَّ بَياتَ المنونِ
وَكُن حَذِراً حدَّ أَظفارِها

4. For death has not taken captive,
Of people, except to take them captive again.

٤. فإِنَّ المَنِيَّةَ ما أَسأَرَت
مِنَ القَومِ عادَت لإِسآرِها
