جرَّدَ من أَجفانِه مُرهَفا

ومُرهَفاً من صدِّهِ والجَفا
He unsheathed a keen blade from his eyelids,
He cast away his eyelids, depressed,
And a keen blade from his rejection and coldness.
And depressed from his breast and aloofness.

أجورُ مِن مُقلَتِه خَصرُهُ
كِلاهُماboth of them أَصبَحَbecame مُستَضعَفاdeemed weak
كِلاهُما أَصبَحَ مُستَضعَفا
His waist is more unjust than his eye;
The slenderness of his waist appeared
Both have come to be deemed weak.
From beneath his shirt - both now weakened.

عوَّدَني الصَّبرَ عَلى جَورِه
فلَمso did not أَجِدI find عَنaway from عادَتيmy habit مَصرِفاan escape
فلَم أَجِد عَن عادَتي مَصرِفا
He accustomed me to bearing his injustice patiently,
Patience had accustomed me to his tyranny,
So I found no escape from my habit.
Yet I found no way to divert my habit.
