هذا أُسَيْدٌ فقفْ على غدْرِهْ

غَلَيِّمٌ قد أُصيب في دُبْرِهْ

This is a lowly one, so stand over his treachery

A vile one who was hit in the back

لذاك ما إِن تني مُنَكَّسةً

مغارفُ العالمينَ في قِدْرِه

That's why I am never downcast

The horizons of the worlds are in his fate

مكتحلٌ من ورائهِ أَبداً

بميلِ لحمٍ علا على شِبْرِه

Forever kohl-lined from behind

With a piece of flesh that rose above its span

مَنْ رَمِدَتْ عينُه فآفةُ ذا

من رَمَدٍ يشتكيهِ في جُحْره

He whose eye was afflicted by the affliction of one

Who complains of rheum in his den
