تَنَفَّسْتُ الغَداةَ وَقَدْ تَوَلَّوْا

وعِيرُهُمُ مُعارِضَةُ الطَّريقِ

I breathed relief at dawn when they were gone

Their taunting me to join them now a distant song

فَنَادَوْا بِالحَريقِ فَظِلْتُ أَبْكي

فَنادَوا بِالحَريقِ وبِالغَريقِ

They yelled of fire as I wept all alone

Of fire and shipwreck did their voices drone
