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
