1. She had become angry, deeming the wheat
A delicacy, and so wore no other chain
١. لَقَدْ غَضِبَتْ حَتَّى عَلَى السِّمْطِ نَخْوةً
فَلَمْ تَتَقَلَّد غيرَ مَبْسمِها سِمْطَا
2. But a smile. She refused to admit blame
For my offense-who knows fate rejects blame?
٢. وأَنْكَرَتِ الوَخْطَ المُلِمَّ بِلِمَّتِي
وَمَنْ عَرَفَ الأَيَّامَ لَمْ يُنْكِرِ الوَخْطَا
