1. They said you met misfortune as a drop
And persisted thirsting after misfortune
١. وَقَالوا ألفْتَ الكَرَى نُطْفَةً
وَبتَّ عَلَى ظَمَإٍ لِلكَرَى
2. I said: passion laid me low
To me the stages complain of the secret
٢. فَقُلتُ الهَوَى ضَافَنِي طَاوِياً
إِليَّ المَراحِلَ يَشْكُو السُّرَى
3. So I established it in the corner of my eye
And offered it my sleep as hospitality
٣. فَبَوَّأتُه مُقلَتِي مَنزِلاً
وَقَدَّمتُ نَوْمِي إِلَيهِ قِرَى
