دَعَا صُرَدٌ يَوماً عَلَى عُودِ شَوحَطٍ
وصاحَ بِذاتِ البَينِ مِنها غُرابُها
One day a shrike called from a branch of a shauhat tree.
And her raven cried out at the very moment of parting from her.
فَقُلتُ أَتَصريدٌ وشَحطٌ وغُربَةٌ
فَهَذا لَعَمري نَأيُها واغترِابها
So I said: Is it a shrike’s cry, distance, and exile?
For this, by my life, is her remoteness and estrangement.
