رَحَلتَ فَلَم تَترُك لِنَفسِكَ حاجَةً

رَحَلتَ فَلَم تَترُك لِنَفسِكَ حاجَةً

أَبا دَوبَلٍ إِلّا اِختِلاسَ الأَخادِعِ

أَبا دَوبَلٍ إِلّا اِختِلاسَ الأَخادِعِ

You departed, leaving yourself no need,

You left, not leaving yourself any need,

O Abu Dawbal, save the stealthy snatching of neck veins.

O Abu Dawbal, except to deceive minds.
