They said you met misfortune as a drop

وقالوا ألفت الكرى نطفة

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
