أيحجبني عمرٌو وقدْ عاشَ حقبةً

أيحجبني عمرٌو وقدْ عاشَ حقبةً

حبيبتُه خُفٌّ ومركبُه نَعْلُ

حبيبتُه خُفٌّ ومركبُه نَعْلُ

Does ʿAmr shut me out, though he lived for an age,

Does Amr hide me, after having lived an era,

With a boot for his beloved and a sandal for his mount?

While his beloved is a slipper and his vehicle a sandal?
