1. Muqran’s wife died after he had grown gray;

    then the wares themselves missed the young men and their friends.

  2. Not a soul remains at Bāb al-Shām whom we knew

    for violent excess: since she perished, every one has repented.

  3. O calamity that there smashed the very nose of joy—

    and what a death, leaving the bachelors bachelors still!

Sol 5.6
