أغار عليه لستُ أملك وصلَه

وأخيب عشاق الملاح غيورُها

I envy those who meet with him though I cannot control their union

And disappoint the jealous sailors of her glances

كأحمق لم يمكنه يدخل قريةً

فقال أنا دهقانها وأميرُها

Like a fool unable to enter a village

Who claims to be both its peasant and its prince
