1. God knows I did not mean to shun you
Only to appease the raging enemy
١. اللَهُ يَعلَمُ ما أَرَدتُ بِهَجرِكُم
إِلا مُصانَعَةَ العَدوِّ الكاشِحِ
2. And I knew keeping my distance, hiding
Would better serve our bond than brazen intimacy
٢. وَعَلِمتُ أَنَّ تَباعُدي وَتَسَتُّري
أَوفى لِوَصلِكِ مِن دُنوٍّ فاضِحِ
