قالت وقدِ انتضَت سُيُوفَ اللَّحظِ

قالت وقدِ انتضَت سُيُوفَ اللَّحظِ

والسِّحرُ ممُازجٌ لذِاكَ اللَّفظِ

والسِّحرُ ممُازجٌ لذِاكَ اللَّفظِ

She said, having unsheathed the swords of her glance,

While enchantment mingled with that utterance:

ذا حَظُّكَ ما أقلَّهُ قُلتُ لها

ذا حَظُّكَ ما أقلَّهُ قُلتُ لها

لو شئتِ لما كُنتُ قليلَ الحَظُ

لو شئتِ لما كُنتُ قليلَ الحَظُ

“This is your share—how little it is!” I said to her,

“Had you wished, I would not have had so little luck.”
