1. إذا اللقاح غدت ملقى أصرتها

    ولم تُندِّ عصوب كفَّ معتصبِ

    When the pollen becomes rendezvous I persist with it

    And do not lament with a clenched fist or weeping eyes

  2. وجاءت الريح من تلقاء مغربها

    وضَنَّ من قدره ذو القِدر بالعُقَبِ

    And the wind comes from the direction of its sunset

    And the one with power laments his fate with bare feet

  3. وكهكه المدلج المقرور في يده

    واستدفأ الكلب في المأسور ذي الذِّئبِ

    And the one wearing fine clothes laughs with might

    And the dog takes warmth beside the chained wolf
