سَلا رسوماً أقامتْ بعدَ ما ساروا

أعِندها بمكانِ الحيِّ أخبارُ

She erected provisions after they had marched on,

At her abode she had news of the living.

ورَوّحا عاتقي من حَمْلِها مِنَناً

للسُّحْبِ فيها وفي الأجفانِ إسْآر

She waved farewell to me out of kindness,

With clouds in her eyes and eyelids flowing with tears.

رَبْعٌ وقفْتُ به والسّمعُ مُرتَنِقٌ

عنِ الملامِ هوىً والدّمعُ مدرار

I stood in an enclosure, hearing soaked up

From blame, passionate love, and copious tears.

كأنّني واضعاً خَدِّي به قَلَمٌ

أبكِي أسىً ورُسومُ الدّارِ أسطار

As if when I placed my cheek against it, a pen

Made me weep with sorrow and the house decorations lines.
