إلحاق تالد ما سعيت به

بطريفِ وعْدٍ غيرِ مُنْخَرمِ

What you sought to accomplish with fine words

Of unfulfilled promises and hollow claims -

أو مَا ترى الشِعْرى العبورَ تَلَتْ

في سيرها الجوزاء في الظُلَمِ

Or however you see these verses passing

Through the darkness, like a nut, on their journey
