1. Oh Fate, why do you not refrain
From blaming me unjustly?
١. يا دَهرُ مالَكَ لا يَصُد
دُكَ عن إساءَتِيَ العِتابُ
2. You make sick those I love though it grieves me
That separation makes them sick.
٢. أَمْرَضْتَ مَن أَهوَى ويَأْ
بَى أَن أُمَرِّضَه الحجابُ
3. If you were just, I would bear the sickness
And they would reap the reward.
٣. لو كُنْتَ تُنصِفُ كانت ال
أَمراضُ بي ولَهُ الثّوابُ
