لَئِن بَخِلتَ بِما تَحوي يَداكَ لَقَد

لَئِن بَخِلتَ بِما تَحوي يَداكَ لَقَد

أَصبَحتَ سَمحاً بِما تَحتَ السَراويلِ

أَصبَحتَ سَمحاً بِما تَحتَ السَراويلِ

If you have been stingy with what your hands hold, indeed

If you are stingy with what your hands contain, surely

you have become generous with what lies beneath your trousers.

You have become generous with what's under your pants.

زَخرَفتُ فيكَ مَديحاً كُلُّهُ كَذِبٌ

زَخرَفتُ فيكَ مَديحاً كُلُّهُ كَذِبٌ

فَكُنتُ أَكذَبَ مِن مَدحي وَتَأميلي

فَكُنتُ أَكذَبَ مِن مَدحي وَتَأميلي

I embellished praise of you, all of it lies;

I decorated you with praises, all lies,

so I was a greater liar than my praise and my hopes.

So I was more lying than my praises and beautification.
