قَد قُلتُ إِذ عاتَبَني جَليسي
لَمّاwhen رَأىhe saw داريmy house بِلاwithout مَلبوسِa garment
لَمّا رَأى داري بِلا مَلبوسِ
I said, when my companion reproached me,
When my companion reproached me
when he saw my house without a garment
For seeing my house so unfurnished -
مِنof كِلَلٍbed curtains تَصلُحُare suitable لِلعَروسِfor the bride
مِن كِلَلٍ تَصلُحُ لِلعَروسِ
قَدindeed قَنَعَwas content اللَيثُthe lion بِهَذاwith this الخيسِthe thicket
قَد قَنَعَ اللَيثُ بِهَذا الخيسِ
of bed curtains fit for a bride:
No fine things fit for a bride within -
The lion has contented himself with this thicket.
I said to him, "Sir, my master,
ياO سَيِّديmy lord أَنتَyou وَياand O رَئيسيmy chief
يا سَيِّدي أَنتَ وَيا رَئيسي
عِمارَةُfurnishing الدارِof the house خَرابُruin الكيسِof the purse
عِمارَةُ الدارِ خَرابُ الكيسِ
O you, my lord and my chief,
'Tis a lion that contents himself
furnishing the house is the ruin of the purse.
With this most mean and humble lair."
Sol 6.1
