وإلى كَم أُخفي عن النَّاسِ حالي

حيثُ يُبدي حَديثَها الحَدَثانُ

For how long will I hide my state from people

When the two youths reveal their talk

وإذا ما رأيتَ لم ترَ شَيئاً

كاللّيالي يُرمَى بها الإنسانُ

And if you saw, you wouldn't see a thing

Like the nights that a person is thrown at

ثم يا حبَّذا النَّوائبُ مادا

مَ يُرجَّى لِدفعِها النُّعمانُ

Then oh how nice are the misfortunes whenever

Al-No'man is hoped for to repel them

نعمةٌ أصبَحَت تُقابلُ بالشُّك

رِ فمنهُ يدٌ ومنِّي لِسانُ

A blessing that is reciprocated with doubt

So a hand is from it, and a tongue is from me
