جرحتني بذي الفقار عيون
رمشها يرمش الفؤاد بماضي
Eyes wounded me with Dhū al-Fiqār;
their lashes slash the heart with a keen blade.
باعت القلب واشترته اغتصابا
ومحته والبيع لا عن تراضي
She sold the heart and bought it back by force,
then erased it—though the sale was not by mutual consent.
وقضت أنه لها وعجيب
بائع مشترٍ وخضم قاضي
And ruled that it was hers. How strange—
seller and buyer, litigant and judge!
Sol 5.6
