God knows for what cause you grew hot,

الله يعلم ما سخنت لعلة

1. God knows for what cause you grew hot,
Though from eating and drinking naught came to pass.

١. اللَهُ يَعلَمُ ما سَخنتَ لِعِلَّةِ
عَرَصَت مِنَ المَأكولِ وَالمَشروبِ

2. But your soul, when it saw you had a boon-companion
Who was finding fault, though kin and very near,

٢. لَكِنَّ نَفسَكَ إِذ رَأَت لَكَ صاحِباً
قَد عابَ وَهوَ إِلَيكَ جِدُّ قَريبِ

3. Felt as though it loathed him and recoiled on you
The noble one's pain at consorting with the censured.

٣. فَكَأَنَّها أَنفَت لِذاكَ فَنالَها
أَلَمُ الكَريمِ لِصُحبَةِ المَعيوبِ
