Bidding farewell with the barking of a dog calling its companion

وداع بنبح الكلب يدعو ودونه

1. Bidding farewell with the barking of a dog calling its companion
Illusions from a gloomy darkness, its foolishness makes it dim

١. وَداعٍ بِنَبحِ الكَلبِ يَدعو وَدونَهُ
غَياطِلُ مِن دَهماءَ داجٍ بَهيمُها

2. It called while hoping to awaken a sleeping companion
A young man like Layla's son when its stars disappeared

٢. دَعا وَهوَ يَرجو أَن يُنَبِّهَ أَذرُعاً
فَتىً كَاِبنِ لَيلى حينَ غارَت نُجومُها

3. I sent it a gloomy one, not a she-camel
That moans when misfortune blows, barren is its moan

٣. بَعَثتُ لَهُ دَهماءَ لَيسَت بِناقَةٍ
تَدُرُّ إِذا ما هَبَّ نَحساً عَقيمُها

4. As if the impossible rocks in its chambers
Are unchaste when its intimate one is struck

٤. كَأَنَّ المَحالَ الغُرَّ في حَجَراتِها
عَذارٍ بَدَت لَمّا أُصيبَ حَميمُها
