1. لَمّا تَطاوَلَ بي إِفراطُ مَطلِكَ لي

    وَضاعَ وَقتِيَ بَينَ العُذرِ وَالعَذَلِ

    When your excessive stalling kept me waiting so long,

    And my time was lost between excuses and reproach,

  2. أَيقَنتُ أَن لَستَ إِنساناً لِفِعلِكَ ذا

    لِقَولِهِ خُلِقَ الإِنسانُ مِن عَجَلِ

    I became certain you were not human, because of this act of yours,

    For He says, “Man was created of haste.”
