سيوف اجفانه المرضى سفكن دمى

ولم يطق دفعها حيلى ولا حيلي

His sick swords shed my blood

And my schemes could not repel them, nor my tricks

لولا السقام الذي فيها لما فتكت

وربما صحت الأجسام بالعلل

Were it not for the ailment in them, they would not have wreaked havoc

And perhaps bodies recover with maladies
