1. On his face went the procession of excuses
And the excuses were about to come out of him
١. عَلى وَجهِهِ سارَ نَملُ العِذار
وَقَد كادَ يَخرجُ عنهُ العِذارْ
2. So he said to me, where can I go and what is for me
Other than the fire of my cheeks, an abode and home
٢. فَقَالَ لي أَينَ أَروحُ وَما لي
سِوى نارِ خَدّي مَأوى ودار
