Claude 2

  1. صبَّحتُه عند المساء فقال لي

    ماذا الكلام وظنَّ ذاك مزاحا

    In the evening I bid him good morning, so he said to me,

    "What is this talk, do you think this a jest?"

  2. فازددتُ دهشاً فوق دهش أوَّلٍ

    وعلمتُ أني قد أتيتُ جناحا

    So I was more perplexed on top of my first perplexity,

    And I knew that I had come with a mistake.

  3. أحسن أبا حسن فحسنُك راعني

    حتى توهَّمتُ المساء صباحا

    Do well, Abu Hasan, for your goodness distracted me,

    Until I imagined the evening as morning.

  4. لا تعجبنَّ فإن وجهك لو بدا

    في ظلمةٍ لحسبته مصباحا

    Do not wonder, for if your face appeared

    In darkness, I would reckon it a lamp.

  5. أنت الذي حيرتني بملاحةٍ

    تركت صِباحَ العالمين قِباحا

    You are the one who confused me with charm

    That made the morning of the worlds ugly.

  6. كم قد فتنتَ وما سعيتَ لفتنةٍ

    كم قد قتلتَ وما حملتَ سلاحا

    How much you have tempted without seeking temptation!

    How much you have killed without bearing arms!
