When our benefits grow few, we are shunned.
For that reason, the companion bridles his she-camels.
وَلَمand did not أوثِرI choose لِمِصباحِfor a lamp خُموداًgoing out
وَلَم أوثِر لِمِصباحِ خُموداً
وَلَكِنand yet خانَbetrayed مَوقِدَهُits burner السَليطُthe lamp oil
وَلَكِن خانَ مَوقِدَهُ السَليطُ
And I did not wish a lamp to go out,
But the oil betrayed its burner.
