كأنَّما لَونُهُ وقَد نَثَرَت

يدُ النَّدامى عليهِ لَونَينِ

As though its hue when contrite hands had shed

O'er it a double tincture, cloth dyed red

ثَوبٌ من الدستري خُضرَتُه

قد فُصِّلت باللُّجَينِ والعَينِ

With lujayn, mixed with 'ayn; like revelry,

The mourner's hands had made the red dye three.
