لا بارك اللَه في الدنيا وطالبها
رأى اجتماعاً عليها ظنَّهُ عُرُسا
May God not bless this world, nor whoever seeks her:
he saw a gathering around her and mistook it for a wedding feast.
فَريسةٌ يتغذّى الوَحشُ منتعشاً
فيها على حينِ منّا تقطعُ النَفَسا
She is prey on which the wild beast feeds, invigorated;
therein, at some moment, she cuts off the life-breath of one of us.
Sol 5.6
