عاضَتْ بِوَصْلٍ صَدَّا

تُريدُ قَتْلي عَمْدا

She bit with a connection, repelling intimacy

You want to kill me intentionally

لمّا رَأَتْني فَرْدا

أَبْكي وَألقى جَهْدا

When she saw me alone

I cry and make great efforts

قالتْ وَأَبْدَتْ دُرّاً

وَيْلُمِّ سَعْدٍ سَعْدا

She spoke and revealed a pearl

Woe to Saad is Saad
