للهِ أيُّ جذرٍ يومَ النّوى

أَودَعْنَ منِّي في الجَنانِ جُنونا

What root did Allah place in me on the day I was created,

That deposited madness within me in the gardens,

لو لم يكُنَّ جآذراً ما سُمِّيتْ

شَعَراتُهُنَّ على الرُّؤوسِ قُرونا

If it were not deeply rooted it would not have been called,

Their hair strands upon heads as horns.
