1. وَقُمتُ أُداري الدّمعَ وَالقَلبُ حائِرٌ

    بِمُقلِةِ موقوفٍ عَلى الضُّرِّ وَالجَهدِ

    And I stood concealing my tears, my heart bewildered,

    with the eye of one bound to affliction and hardship.

  2. وَلَم يُعدني هذا الأَميرُ بَعَدلِهِ

    عَلى ظالِمٍ قَد لَجَّ في الهَجرِ وَالصَدِّ

    Nor did this prince, through his justice, grant me redress

    against a wrongdoer who has persisted in abandonment and rejection.
