1. My body was not worn down
And my tears were not shed
١. قَد كانَ جِسمي غَيرَ مَنهوكِ
وَكانَ دَمعي غَيرَ مَسفوكِ
2. Until passion violated me, else
I would not have been broken
٢. حَتّى تَهَتَّكتُ وَلَولا الهَوى
إِذاً لَما كُنتُ بِمَهتوكِ
3. So do not blame a free man who became lost
Since he became enslaved to the enslaved
٣. فَلا تَلُم حُرّاً غَدا حائِراً
مُذ صارَ مَملوكاً لِمَملوكِ
