قالتْ تشاءَمْتَ من طيْر ومِنْ صَفَر

متى غزاكَ الونَى والوهْمُ والوجَلُ

She said, "You were upset by a bird and by yellow,

When were you attacked by weakness, delusion and anxiety?

أنتَ الذي ترَك الآذانَ خاشعةً

سكْرى به وتَناجَى خَطْوَهُ المُقَلُ

You are the one who left the minarets humble,

Intoxicated by it, and its slow gait whispers,

فأنتَ فارسُنا في كلِّ نائِبَةٍ

تُوري مشاعرنا إنْ مسَّها الكَلَلُ

So you are our knight in every trouble,

You show our feelings if numbness touches them,

فقلت: للهِ أنتِ اليومَ منصفةٌ

على لسانِكِ من نورِ الهُدى حُلَلُ

So I said: By God, you are fair today

On your tongue are robes of light guidance."
