1. One I trusted changed when fortune smiled
And it is my way to watch over friends
١. وَذي ثِقَةٍ تَبَدَّلَ حينَ أَثرى
وَمِن شِيَمي مُراقَبَةُ الثِقاتِ
2. I said, you blame me though I'm innocent
To escape costs of reciprocated hate
٢. فَقُلتُ لَهُ عَتَبتَ بِغَيرِ جُرمٍ
فِراراً مِن مَؤوناتِ العِداتِ
3. Return to friendship and I promise not
To burden you with wants until death parts
٣. فَعُد لِمَوَدَّتي وَعَلَيَّ أَلّا
أَبُثَّكَ حاجَةً حَتّى المَماتِ
