وللِخُودِ مِنِّي ساعةٌ ثمَّ بَينَنا

فَلاةٌ إلى غَيرِ الوَفاءِ تُجابُ

My cheeks had an hour with you, then between us

was a wilderness leading to nothing but betrayal.

وغَيرُ فُؤادي للغَواني رَمِيَّةٌ

وغَيرُ بَناني للزّجاجِ رِكابُ

Other than my heart, I'm an easy target for the flirtatious;

other than my torso, a mount for spearheads.
