I say, when we met and you turned away

أقول لما التقينا وهي معرضة

1. I say, when we met and you turned away
To scorn me today for those you approach other than me

١. أَقُولُ لَمّا اِلتَقَينا وَهِيَ مُعرِضَةٌ
لِيَهنِكِ اليَومَ مَن تُدنينَ مِن دُوني

2. I will grant you distance, withdrawing
Without hatred, perhaps separation will console me

٢. إِنّي سَأَمنَحُكِ الهِجرانَ مُعتَزِلاً
مِن غَيرِ بُغضٍ لَعَلَّ الهَجرَ يُسلِيني

3. You were our neighbor while the house gathered
Both waterer and shepherd for that religion from religion

٣. قَد كُنتِ جاوَرتِنا وَالدارُ جامِعَةٌ
سَقياً وَرَعياً لِذاكَ الدِينِ مِن دِينِ

4. You wished us joy if you were truthful
O love of self, is that what you wish me?

٤. مَنَّيتِنا فَرَحاً إِن كُنتِ صادِقَةً
يا حَبَّ نَفسٍ أَحَقّاً ما تُمَنِّيني

5. Or will you make me into a cold seed in a dish
So make me dissolved in it, then water me

٥. أَو تَجعَلِي نُطفَةً في الصَحنِ بارِدَةً
فَتَجعَلي فاكِ فيها ثُمَّ تَسقِيني

6. What is it to you, when you've given me illness
And your husband was absent a day, that you return to me

٦. ماذا عَلَيكِ وَقَد أَهدَيتِ لِي سَقَماً
وَغابَ زَوجُكِ يَوماً أَن تَعُودِيني
