سَيُرضيكَ أَنِّي مُسْخِطٌ فيكَ كاشِحاً

ومُرْتَقِبٌ هَوْلَيْنِ مَوْتٌ مُرَقَّبُ

It will please you that I am angry with you, railing,

And awaiting two deaths, expected.

وجانبُ لَيْلٍ لَوْ تعلّقُ قِطْعَةٌ

بقِطْعَةِ صُبْحٍ لانْثَنَتْ وهيَ غَيْهَبُ

And a night side - if a piece of it

Clung to a piece of dawn, it would bend and disappear.
