1. O my beloved, today my sickness has returned
And its severity has spread through my bones
١. يا خَليلَيَّ عادَني اليَومَ سُقمي
فَبَرى دائُهُ لِحَينِيَ عَظمي
2. Because of one who insisted and became arrogant
And thought that being aloof was not an injustice
٢. لِمُصِرٍّ أَصَرَّ وَاِستَكبَرَ اليَو
مَ وَظَنَّ الصُدودَ لَيسَ بِظُلمِ
3. He purposefully turned away, so he failed when he turned away from me
O my beloved, because of his sin and because of my sin
٣. صَدَّ عَمداً فَباءَ إِذ صَدَّ عَنّي
يا خَليلي بِإِثمِهِ وَبِإِثمي
4. Whether you are generous or stingy, it is still praiseworthy
You who joins us are flawless, do not blame me
٤. إِن تَجودي أَو تَبخَلي فَبِحَمدٍ
أَنتِ مِن واصِلٍ لَنا لا تُذَمّي
5. Or you say, you have not stopped composing poetry
Until you have revealed yourself to people, though you were not named
٥. أَو تَقولي ما زِلتَ في الشِعرِ حَتّى
بُحتَ لِلناسِ غَيرَ أَن لَم تُسَمِّ
6. So the abode in which you have resided and the
Eternal beauty upon you, I could not complete
٦. فَالمَحَلُّ الَّذي حَلَلتِ بِهِ وَال
حُسنُ أَبدى عَلَيكَ ما كُنتُ أَكمي
7. Your home is the home whose roof covers us
And grows upon the righteous of creations
٧. بَيتُكِ البَيتُ تَسقُفينَ عَلَيهِ
وَعَلى صالِحِ الخَلائِقِ يَنمي
8. You are of the refined essence from a lineage
Of the progeny of glory between maternal and paternal uncles
٨. أَنتِ في الجَوهَرِ المُهَذَّبِ مِن تَي
مٍ ذُرى المَجدِ بَينَ خالٍ وَعَمِّ
