Claude 2

  1. أَجِدّوا النِعالَ لِأَقدامِكُم

    أَجِدّوا فَوَيهاً لَكُم جَروَلُ

    Polish your shoes for your feet

    And prepare a saddle for your steed

  2. وَأَبلِغ سَلامانَ إِن جِئتَها

    فَلا يَكُ شِبهاً لَها المِغزَلُ

    Send my regards to Sulaiman, if you meet him

    For the spinning wheel bears no resemblance to her

  3. يُكَسّي الأَنامَ وَيُعري أَستَهُ

    وَيَنسَلُّ مِن خَلفِهِ الأَسفَلُ

    It clothes the people yet strips their dignity

    As the riffraff slither behind

  4. فَإِنَّ بُجَيراً وَأَشياعَهُ

    كَما تَبحَثُ الشاةُ إِذ تَدآلُ

    For Bujayr and his associates

    Are like a sheep bleating as it wanders

  5. أَثارَت عَنِ الحَتفِ فَاِغتالَها

    فَمَرَّ عَلى حَلقِها المِغوَلُ

    They roused the wolf from its lair and it ambushed them

    Passing its throat over their necks

  6. وَآخِرُ عَهدٍ لَها مونِقٌ

    غَديرٌ وَجِزعٌ لَها مُبقِلُ

    And the last days for her were woeful

    A pond and a mourning willow for her weeping
