1. Then I became the one who conceals from people what has
Become apparent to every eye as a mark
١. ثم أصبَحتُ أكتُم النَّاسَ ما أص
بَحَ فيه لكلِّ عَينٍ عَلامَه
2. I hide the condition that exposed me
So I endure enmity and blame
٢. أستُرُ الحالَة التي هَتَكَتني
فأُقاسي عَداوةً ومَلامَه
3. Then I saw in you and in her
That I attributed its darkness to you
٣. ثمَّ إنِّي رأيتُ فيكَ وفيها
أن تَحمَّلتُها إليكَ ظُلامَه
4. When there remained none other than your opinion, so look
What you see, O Muhammad ibn Salamah
٤. حينَ لَم يَبقَ غيرُ رأيِكَ فَانظُر
ما ترى يا محمَّدِ بنَ سَلامَه
