أَمِنْ ظُعُنٍ هَبَّتْ بِلَيْلٍ فَأَصْبَحَتْ

بِصَوْعَةَ تُحْدَى كالفَسِيلِ المُكَمَّمِ

From sentiments that gushed forth in the night, till at morn

They appear a goblet you're challenged to drain, like a shrouded invalid.

تُبَادِرُ عَيْنَاكَ الدُّمُوعَ كَأَنَّهَا

تَفِيضَانِ مِنْ وَاهِي الكُلى مُتَخَرِّمِ

Tears start forth from your eyes as though they poured

From the crumbled and ruined home of the kidneys, in pain.
