وَبِمُهجَتيAnd with my lifeblood (as ransom) خَنِثsoft and languid اللِحاظthe glances جُفونُهhis eyelids
وَبِمُهجَتي خَنِث اللِحاظ جُفونُه
نَشِطتstirred into action لِقَتلىto slay me نِشطةَwith the vigor of الكَسلانthe sluggard
نَشِطت لِقَتلى نِشطةَ الكَسلان
And I would ransom with my lifeblood the soft-glancing one whose eyelids
With joy I slay the slothful, waking those
stirred to slay me with a sluggard’s vigor.
Asleep like corpses by my lively verse.
