لله در الخالديّ

الأوحد النّدب الخطير

For God’s sake leave the immortal one alone

The uniquely slender, the dangerously slim

أهدى لماء المزن عن

د جموده نار السعير

His water from Muzn relieved him

Of his frigidity, the inferno’s fire

حتى إذا صدر العنا

ب اليه عن حنق الصدور

Until he exhaled from his breast

His rancor contained within his chest

بعثت اليه بعذره

منخاطري ابدي السرور

I sent him my excuse

From my heart, eternal is its joy

لا تعذلوه فإنه

أهدى الخدود إلى الثغور

Do not blame him, for he

Offered his cheeks to peril
