1. I wrote to you thinking that
my hearing with you does not waver
١. كَتَبتُ إِلَيكَ وَظَنّي بِأَنَّ
مَسعايَ عِندَكَ لا يُخفِقُ
2. and that when my covenants are broken
the covenants of lovers are not broken
٢. وَأَنَّ عُهودي إِذا أَخلَقَت
عُهودُ المُحِبّينَ لا تُخلِقُ
3. But when you made my answer silence
it became clear to me that I am a fool
٣. فَلَمّا جَعَلتَ جَوابي السُكوتَ
تَبَيَّنَ لي أَنَّني أَحمَقُ
