لَكَ بِالبابِ حاجِبٌ
كالِحُ الوَجهِ ساهِمُ
You have a doorkeeper at the door,
At your door a guard stands
Grim-faced and glum.
Stern-faced, arrow straight
كُلَّما جِئتُ زائِراً
قالَ لي أَنتَ نائِمُ
Whenever I come to visit,
Each time I come to visit
He tells me you are asleep.
He tells me “You’re too late”
Sol 6.1
