كَم أَكتُب ما جَرى وَدَمعي يُملي

ما أَضمر مِن اليُم فَقد الأَهل

How much I write what has passed, my tears dictate

What grief I harbor over losing my family

غَرّبت وَغيرَتي كَما تَعهدها

ما قَبل خَدِها نِقاب الذُلّ

It has estranged and changed me as it vowed

Before its cheek was veiled by disgrace
