انظُرْ لمطّرِدِ المياهِ بصفحَتي
ولنارِ خدّي كم بها من صالِ
Behold the waters streaming ceaselessly across my cheek,
and my cheek’s fire—how many have been seared by it!
لينٌ وشدٌّ في المضايقِ شِيمَتي
كبلالِ بنِ مُدافعِ بنِ بِلالِ
Gentleness and firmness in adversity are my nature,
like Bilāl ibn Mudāfiʿ ibn Bilāl.
Sol 5.6
