هبه تغيّرَ حائِلاً عَن عَهدِهِ

وَرَمى فُؤادي بِالصُدودِ فَأَزعَجا

Her gift changed, estranging their bond,

And threw my heart against walls, perturbing it.

ما بالُ نَرجِسه تَحوّل وَردَةً

وَالوَردُ في خَدّيه عادَ بَنَفسَجا

Why did his narcissus turn into a rose?

While the rose in his cheek returned a violet.
