I saw you never faithful in affection

رأيتك لا تدوم على وداد

1. I saw you never faithful in affection
So you cut the rope of love after intimacy

١. رَأَيتُكَ لا تَدومُ عَلى وِدادٍ
فَتَصرِمُ حَبلَ خِنٍ بَعدَ خِدنِ

2. You renew a passion every day
And get drunk with fervor from every coquette

٢. تُجَدِّدُ صَبوَةً في كُلِّ يَومٍ
وَتَسكَرُ سَكرَةً مِن كُلِّ دَنِّ

3. I speak the truth; you have no loyal friend
So do not blame me or find fault with me

٣. أَقولُ الحَقَّ مالَكَ مِن صَديقٍ
فَلا تَعتُب عَلَيَّ وَلا تَلُمني

4. I thought you were a lover to me
But you have disappointed my hopes by your vileness

٤. وَكُنتُ أَظُنُّ أَنَّكَ لي حَبيبٌ
وَقَد خَيَّبتَ بِالتَقبيحِ ظَنّي

5. You felt no shame when my eyes looked at you
Nor were abashed when my ears heard you

٥. فَما اِستَحيَيتَ إِذ نَظَرَتكَ عَيني
وَلا خَفَّضتَ إِذ سَمِعَتكَ أُذني

6. Indeed, the slanderers have falsely accused me to you
And got their purpose of you and of me

٦. لَقَد نَقَلَ الوُشاةُ إِلَيكَ زوراً
وَنالوا مِنكَ قَصدُهُم وَمِنّي

7. I advised you; if you were sober, you would accept my advice
But you are drunk with wilfulness

٧. نَصَحتُكَ لَو صَحَوتَ قَبِلتَ نُصحي
وَلَكِن أَنتَ في سُكرِ التَجَنّي

8. He who listens to singing without feeling
Should not blame the singer

٨. وَمَن سَمِعَ الغِناءَ بِغَيرِ قَلبٍ
وَلَم يَطرَب فَلا يَلُمِ المُغَنّي
