عجب الجاهلون أن أبصروهُ

نَزَّه الناس في بساتين رأسِهْ

The ignorant were amazed when they saw him

People glorified him in the gardens of his wisdom

كيف لو أبصروهُ وهو مُجدٌّ

يُعمل الكف في مَصافع نفسه

If only they could see him in his glory

Working with his hands in the workshops of his soul

قلت للسائِليَّ عن غضبي كا

ن عليه وعن قِلاي لعِرسِه

I said to those who asked about my anger

Against him and my aversion to his wedding

ضرطتْ عِرسُهُ على رأس أيري

فتوهمتُ أن ذاك بِدَسِّه

His wedding farted on my head

So I imagined that was his doing
