حَوَت ضِدّينِ إِذ ضَرَبَت وَغَنَّت

فَقَد ساءَت وَسُرَّت مَن رَآها

She contained opposites when she struck and sang

So she displeased and pleased whoever saw her

غِناءٌ تَستَحِقُّ عَليهِ ضَرباً

وَضَرباً تَستَحِقُّ بِهِ غِناها

Singing deserving of strikes

And strikes making her singing deserved
