They said, and if what they said was true, I would have won it

قالوا ولو صح ما قالوا لفزت به

1. They said, and if what they said was true, I would have won it
Who will confirm for me what they said by denying it

١. قالوا ولو صحَّ ما قالوا لفُزتُ به
مَن لي بتصديق ما قالوا بتكذيبِ

2. By Allah, in what they circulated they lied
Like the lies of Jacob's sons about the wolf

٢. عَليَّ واللَه فيما شيَّعوا كذبوا
ككذْبِ أولاد يعقوبٍ على الذيبِ

3. I commend dear friends to God, I was envied for them
They left without equipping me except with reproach

٣. أستودع اللَهَ أحباباً حُسِدتُ بهم
غابوا وما زوَّدوني غير تثريبِ

4. They were gone before Zayd had fulfilled any promise
Or before any need in Jacob's soul was fulfilled

٤. بانوا ولم يقضِ زيدٌ منهمُ وطراً
ولا انقضت حاجةٌ في نفس يعقوب
