فَتاةٌ بَغَت أَمراً مِنَ الدَهرِ مُعجَزاً

وَما رَأيُها لَو مُكِّنَت بِسَفيهِ

A girl sought an impossible feat from fate

Yet her wish, had it been granted through a fool

لِتَفدِيَ عُمراً جَمَّةً شُرَكائُهُ

بِخَمسينَ عَمراً لا تُشارَكُ فيهِ

To ransom a perfect lifetime whose partners

Are fifty lifetimes that have no partner
