1. I am too shy before God to pursue
a chance meeting or to let chance pursue me.
١. وَإِنّي لَأَستَحيِي مِنَ اللَهِ أَن أَرى
رَديفَ وِصالٍ أَو عَلَيَّ رَديفُ
2. And to expect watering when the pool is low,
or to add one weak bond to another from you.
٢. وَأَن أَرِدَ الماءَ المُوَطَّأَ حَسبَةً
وَأَتبَعَ وَصلاً مِنكَ وَهُوَ ضَعيفُ
3. I spurn water mixed with filth although
its scoopers may be many and ardent.
٣. وَإِنِّيَ لِلماءِ المُخالِطِ لِلقَذى
وَإِن كَثُرَت وُرّادُهُ لَعَيوفُ
