1. أرى شعرات على حاجبيّ نبت

    ن جميعا توآما توآما

    I see hairs upon my eyebrows that have sprouted,

    all together, in pairs, in pairs.

  2. ضللت أهاجي بهن الكلا

    ب أحسبهُنّ سورا قياما

    I have gone astray, taunting the dogs with them;

    I take them for walls standing upright.

  3. وأحسب أنفي إذا ما مش

    يت شخصا أمامي رآني فقاما

    And I take my nose, whenever I walk,

    for a person before me who saw me and stood up.
