1. You betrayed me, never faithful, as if
Misfortune I'd been born to bear, and yet
١. غَدَرتَ ولم تُحسِن وَفاءً ولم يكن
ليحتملَ الأَسبابَ إِلَّا المُعَوَّدُ
2. How could Qays subjugate his very self
To what has passed - that mule, his spirit's debt?
٢. وكيف لقيسٍ أن يُنَوِّطَ نفسَهُ
إّا ما جرى والمَضرَحِيُّ المُسَوَّدُ
