1. They reproached me, even if they found delight in you
They made excuses and showed more than what I showed
١. عَذَلوا وَلَو وَجَدوا بِكُم وَجدي
عَذَروا وَأَبدوا فَوقَ ما أُبدي
2. They blamed my overt love for you
And my craziness in ignorance of what I have
٢. عابوا اِشتِهاري في مَحَبَّتِكُم
وَتَهَتُّكي جَهلاً بِما عِندي
3. And for long have I hidden my love for you
And exerted effort in keeping it secret
٣. وَلَطالَما أَخفَيتُ حُبَّكَم
وَبَذَلتُ في كِتمانِهِ جَهدي
4. But my intoxication with you overflowed
And uncovered my veil, exposing my intention to my blamers
٤. لَكِن طَغى سَكَري بِكُم فَطَوى
سَتري فَبانَ لِعُذَّلي قَصدي
