1. You praised him, saying he is good at writing couplets
Indeed, longing and sorrow have taken me
١. وَقَدَّكَ إِنَّهُ حَسَنُ التَثَنّي
لَقَد أَخَذَ الأَسى وَالشَوقُ مِنّي
2. Lessen your aloofness toward me, or do it intentionally
For the sake of your love, my slaying would comfort me
٢. أَقِلني مِن صُدودِكَ أَو تَعَمَّد
فَدَيتُكَ في الهَوى قَتلى تُرِحني
3. I was afflicted by one angry for no reason
Nothing is more pleasing to him than transgressing and teasing me
٣. بُليتُ بِساخِطٍ لا شَيءَ أَحلى
إِلَيهِ مِنَ التَعَدّي وَالتَجَنّي
