Claude 2

  1. وكم غَداةَ اللَّقا

    من طفلةٍ غفلهْ

    How many a morning of meeting,

    From a young woman I neglected,

  2. منعتُها بالمُهَنَّدِ

    في ظهرِ جَفله

    I prevented her with disdain,

    On the back of her camel.

  3. كم ثائر ماجِدٍ

    في الناسِ توقف لهْ

    How many a glorious rebel,

    Among the people stopped for her.

  4. بغَيْتُ رأسهُ فطا

    حَ السيفُ في كفِلهْ

    I wanted his head so it fell,

    The sword slashed his shoulder.
