وأمردٍ يعقِدُ زنارَهُ

قُسِّم فيه أمرد أم رَدى

A young man tying his belt,

Is it a young man or an echo?

يكشف لي عن متنِ فضيّةٍ

ما خلتُها لابسةً عسجدا

Revealing to me a silver torso

I have never seen it clothed before

أدت يدي الريقَ لبابِ

وعاودتْ يبغي الهدى

My hand brought the saliva to my mouth

And I wanted guidance again

فقال لي أنظر لحالاتها

قد حنّكتْني قبلَ أن أشهدا

He said to me look at its states

It has made me an expert before I can witness
