قَد طُبِخَت بِالماءِ في بُرمَتِه
He served me a yearling’s bones,
He offered me the finest peach
which had been boiled in water in his earthenware pot.
Stewed in its own juice in a bowl
فَلَمso did not أَزَلI cease زَلَّتmay slip بِهِwith him نَعلُهُhis sandal
فَلَم أَزَل زَلَّت بِهِ نَعلُهُ
أَلعَبُI play بِالشَطرَنجِat chess فيin قَصعَتِهhis bowl
أَلعَبُ بِالشَطرَنجِ في قَصعَتِه
So I kept on—may his sandal slip beneath him!—
Yet his slipper kept sliding in it
playing chess in his bowl.
As I played chess in its hollow
