The mirage's promises are truthful when she makes them

سراب الفيافي صادق عند وعدها

1. The mirage's promises are truthful when she makes them,
And snakes' poison is harmless when it is blocked.

١. سَرابُ الْفَيافي صادِقٌ عِنْدَ وَعْدِها
وَسَمُّ الأَفاعي مُبْرِئٌ عِنْدَ صَدِّها

2. She shot me, and I was not made happy by days of being close to her -
With pitiless eyes, she looked at me, making my happiness into misfortune.

٢. رَمَتْني وَلَمْ أَسْعَدْ بِأَيَّامِ قُرْبها
بِعَيْنَيْ مَهاةٍ أَنْحَسَتْني بِسَعْدِها

3. My heart clings to her as her earrings cling
To the apples of her cheek.

٣. تَعَلَّقَها قَلْبي كَما قَد تَعَلَّقَتْ
صَوالِجُ صُدْغَيْها بِتُفَّاحِ خَدِّها
