1. وثقيلٍ باتَ في نعمِ

    وأراني منهُ في نقمِ

    And a bore spent the night in bliss,

    And I find myself in misery because of him.

  2. قال ألقاكَ صباحَ غدٍ

    يا غدُ عجّلتَ بالسقمِ

    He said, “I will meet you tomorrow morning.”

    O tomorrow, you have brought sickness early!

  3. لو يقومُ الميتونَ غداً

    لتكاسلتُ ولم أقمِ

    If the dead were to rise tomorrow,

    I would be too lazy and would not rise.
