قُرونُكَ تَحتَ أَقصَرِها الثُرَيّا

قُرونُكَ تَحتَ أَقصَرِها الثُرَيّا

وَنَفسُكَ تَحتَ هِمَّتِها الحَضيضُ

وَنَفسُكَ تَحتَ هِمَّتِها الحَضيضُ

The Pleiades lie beneath the shortest of your horns.

Your horns under its shortest Thuriya star

And the lowest depths lie beneath your soul’s ambition.

And your soul under its lowest ambition

قَتَلتَ بِسَيفِ مَطلِكَ حَيَّ وَعدي

قَتَلتَ بِسَيفِ مَطلِكَ حَيَّ وَعدي

فَلَم يَقعُد عَنِ النارِ القَريضُ

فَلَم يَقعُد عَنِ النارِ القَريضُ

You killed my living promise with the sword of your stalling.

You have killed with your unsheathed sword, alive and fleeing

So verse did not hold back from the fire.

So the cold did not refrain from the fire

إِذا قَعَدَ الوَفا بِكَ عَن حُقوقي

إِذا قَعَدَ الوَفا بِكَ عَن حُقوقي

فَما لَكَ في قَضاحِقٍ نَهوضُ

فَما لَكَ في قَضاحِقٍ نَهوضُ

If faithfulness fails you concerning my rights,

When loyalty to you has refrained from my rights

Then you make no move to settle what is due.

Then you have no place in raging seas to rise
