ما زالَ يأْكلُ مِنْ لحمي وَيشربُ مِنْ

دمعي وَيرتعُ في جلدي بمخلبِه

He still eats of my flesh and drinks of

my tears, and digs his claws into my skin,

حتى إذا الدَّهرُ جازاه بفعْلتِه

لم يُبْقِ لي مدمعاً أبكي عليه بِهِ

until when time rewards him for his deeds,

no tear will remain for me to weep over him with.
