1. I pretended to be angry with him
As if my heart was not in his hands
١. تَمَصبَطرَمتُ في عَتبي عَلَيهِ
كَأَنّي لَيسَ قَلبي في يَدَيهِ
2. Had composure mounted my apology
It would have stumbled at his feet
٢. وَكانَ الحَزمُ لَو رَكِبَ اِعتِذاري
مَطِيَّتَهُ فَأَبرَكَها لَدَيهِ
3. So I have no one to judge fairly but him
If I complain to him about him
٣. فَما لي مُنصِفٌ مِنهُ سِواهُ
إِذا ما جِئتَ أَشكوهُ إِلَيهِ
