1. طَيلَسانٌ خَلَعتُهُ

    إِذ تَجافَوهُ في الشِرا

    My tongue I shed

    When companions turned against me

  2. كَم تَغَنّى عَلَيهِ حي

    نَ تَهَوّى بَنو الوَرى

    How it sang to them when

    The people of the land inclined towards me

  3. حَلَّ بي مِثلَما عَلِم

    تَ فَجِسمي كَما تَرى

    The same has befallen me, as you know

    So my body is as you see
