ويح الطبيب الذي جسَّتْ يداه يدك
ما كان أشجعَه فيما به اعتمدَكْ
Woe to the physician whose two hands palpated your hand!
How bold he was in what he dared undertake with you!
لو أن ألحاظه كانت مَباضِعَهُ
ثم انتحاك بها من رقَّةٍ فصدَكْ
Had his glances been his lancets,
then, had he aimed them at you, he would have bled you, delicate as you are.
يا واضح الثغر كم تُدلُّ على ال
صَبِّ كأنْ قد أذقتَه بردَكْ
O radiant-smiled one, how coyly you treat the
lovesick lover, as though you had already made him taste your coolness!
عجبت من قتلك النَّجْدَ القويَّ ولو
يشَا رِخْوُ القوى ثَناك أو عقدَكْ
I marvel that you slew the valiant, mighty man, though
a man weak in strength, if he wished, could bend or bind you.
