أَيا ذَوي الوَخامَة
أَكثَرتُمُ المَلامَة
Oh censurers abounding in blame!
Ye have censured me past all forbearance and patience.
فَلَيسَ لي عَلى ذا
صَبرٌ وَلا قُلامَة
I have loved a fawn—is the Resurrection come?
Then I will ride among riders renowned for daring.
نَعَم عَشِقتُ موقاً
هَل قامَتِ القِيامَة
لَأَركَبَنَّ فيمَن
هَويتُهُ الصَرامَة
