1. Come to what I am used to with me of vastness
And let your blame that you cast upon me be a veil of blame
١. تقدّم إِلى ما اِعتدت عِندي مِن الرَحبِ
وَرِدْ تلقك العُتبى حِجاباً مِنَ العُتبِ
2. When will you meet me with the meeting I have experienced
Forgiving about the sinner, merciful to the companions
٢. مَتى تلقني تلقَ الَّذي قَد بَلَوتَهُ
صفوحاً عَن الجاني رَؤُوفاً عَلى الصحبِ
3. I will give you from me what you were accustomed to of consent
And I will ignore what was if it was from sin
٣. سأُوليكَ مِنّي ما عهدتَ مِنَ الرِضا
وَأَعرِضُ عَمّا كانَ إِن كانَ مِن ذَنبِ
4. So the Merciful did not make my heart harsh
Nor did forgetting harms become of my nature
٤. فَما أَشعَرَ الرَحمنُ قَلبيَ قَسوَةً
وَلا صارَ نسيانُ الأذمة مِن شَعبي
5. I struggled with it, wanting by it to comfort you
But poetry does not suffer being shared by common minds
٥. تكلفتُه أَبغي بِهِ لَكَ سلوَةً
فَلَيسَ يُعاني الشِعرَ مُشتَرَكُ اللبِّ
