इत्थं विलप्य बहुशो नयनांबुधारासंपातजात तटिनी शतमुत्तरंगम् । सा तोकशोकजनितानल तापतप्ता प्रोच्छ्वस्यदीर्घविपुलोष्णमहो शुशोष

Transliteration

Translation

وهكذا أخذت تندب مرارًا، فأسالت سيولَ الدموع حتى غدت كأنها مئاتُ الأنهار ذاتُ أمواجٍ متلاطمة. وقد أحرقتها حرارةُ النار المولودة من حزنها على طفلها، فأطلقت زفراتٍ طويلةً ثقيلةً حارّة—ويا للأسف، ذبلت حتى جفّت.
