فإِن أَمسَيتُ مُكتبئاً حَزيناً
كَثيرَ الهَمِّ يَشهَدُني الحِذارُ
For if evening has found me dejected and sad,
Full of care, with dread attending me,
فَقَد بُدِّلتُ ذاكَ بِنُعمِ بَالٍ
وأَيَّامٍ لَياليها قِصارُ
Then I have been given that in place of peace of mind,
And days whose nights were short.
Sol 6.1
