I came not with a fault for which I deserved your anger

ما جئت ذنبا به استوجبت سخطكم

1. I came not with a fault for which I deserved your anger
I ask Allah's forgiveness, save for the intensity of my gaze

١. ما جِئتُ ذَنباً بِهِ اِستَوجَبتُ سَخطَكُمُ
أَستَغفِرُ اللَهَ إِلّا شِدَّةُ النَظَرِ

2. O people of Baghdad! I who am here before you
How would it be if I were amidst the Turks and the Khazars

٢. يا أَهلَ بَغدادَ أَلقى ذا بِحَضرَتِكُم
فَكَيفَ لَو كُنتُ بَينَ التُركِ وَالخَزَرِ

3. Upon me the sky of sorrow cast down after you all
And the seas of longing and thought closed in around me

٣. سَحَّت عَلَيَّ سَماءُ الحُزنِ بَعدَكُمُ
وَأَحدَقَت بي بُحورُ الشَوقِ وَالفِكَرِ
