1. طَيلَسانٌ خَلَعتُهُ

    إِذ تَجافَوهُ في الشِرا

    A mantle I took off

    when they passed it over while buying.

  2. كَم تَغَنّى عَلَيهِ حي

    نَ تَهَوّى بَنو الوَرى

    How often it was sung over, when

    the sons of humankind fell.

  3. حَلَّ بي مِثلَما عَلِم

    تَ فَجِسمي كَما تَرى

    It befell me, just as you

    know; so my body is as you see.
