وشاذن معتد علياً
حياً دلالاً لو كنت حياً
And a fawn, transgressing against me,
would have greeted me coquettishly, had I been alive.
فقلت والدمع غير وان
وقد لوى بالقوم لياً
So I said, the tears unceasing,
while he had thoroughly twisted the company about:
من ركب الغصن في كثيب
ونقط البدر بالثريا
“Who set the bough in a sand dune,
and dotted the full moon with the Pleiades?”
Sol 6.1
