لِأُختَينِ صَفراوَينِ أَصبَحتَ واطِئاً
وَفي جَمعِكَ الأُختَينِ إِثمُكَ وَالعارُ
I have come to tread upon two yellow sisters;
and in coupling you two sisters together lie your sin and shame.
مَتى تَنفَرِد إِحداهُما فَهيَ دَهرَها
مُقَصّرَةٌ عَمّا تُريدُ وَتَختارُ
Whenever either one goes alone, throughout her days
she falls short of what she desires and chooses.
كَسا شَعَرٌ وَجهَيهِما وَعَلَيهِما
فُروعٌ بَدَت يَسرَحن وَالخلقُ أَطوارُ
Hair clothed both their faces, and upon them
branches appeared, roaming free—for creation takes many forms.
