ماءٌ هوَ وَاللَهِ فَلا تَتَّكئِ
How often I have said, with my gazelle as clear as water:
How often I have spoken as clear as water flows

لاnot يُمسِكُهُholds him الكَفُّthe hand إِذاwhen فُزتُI won بِهِwith him
لا يُمسِكُهُ الكَفُّ إِذا فُزتُ بِهِ
لاnot رويتُهُI gave him drink فَقَطonly يَشفىis quenched ظَمئيmy thirst

No hand can hold it if I grasp to take
I have not given him drink; only my thirst is quenched.
I drink to quench my thirst, it will not stay
