حُشاشَةٌ وَدَّعَتني يَومَ بَينِهِمُ

وَشَيَّعَتهُم وَخَلَّتني وَأَحزاني

A parting beauty bid me farewell

As my sorrows remained when the others left

وَقَد أَشاروا بِتَسليمٍ عَلى حَذَرٍ

مِنَ الرَقيبِ بِأَطرافٍ وَأَجفانِ

Though they gestured discreetly not wanting

The watcher to notice their fingers and eyes
