وَإِنَّكَ إِذ أَطمَعتَني مِنكَ بالرِضا

وَأَيأستَني مِن بَعدِ ذَلِكَ بِالغَضَبْ

When you made me hope for your favor,

Then after that frustrated me with anger,

كَمُمكِنَةٍ مِن ضَرعِها كَفَّ حالِبٍ

وَدافِقَةٍ مِن بَعدِ ذَلِكَ ما حَلَبْ

You were like a sheep letting her milker’s hands fall from her udder

And after that not letting down her milk.
