1. قدَّر اللّهُ أن أعِيشَ فريداً

    في ديارٍ أُساقُ كَرْهاً إليْهَا

    God decreed that I should live alone

    In lands to which I am driven against my will.

  2. وبقلْبِي مُخَدَّراتُ مَعانٍ

    أُنْزِلَتْ آيةُ الحِجابِ عليْهَا

    And in my heart are secluded maidens of meaning,

    Upon whom the verse of the veil was revealed.
