متعتّبٌ من غيرِ ما سببِ

راضٍ به مسٌّ من الغضبِ
Reproachful for no reason,
Reproaching me for no reason at all
Contented, yet touched by anger.
Though happy with me, harsh out of anger

أشْمتّ بي من لا خلاقَ له
وقدحْتَand you struck sparks بينbetween الجلدِthe skin والعصَبِand the sinews
وقدحْتَ بين الجلدِ والعصَبِ
You made one devoid of virtue gloat over me,
Mocking me, you who have no ethics
And struck sparks between skin and sinew.
Attacking between skin and nerve

لا تولعنّ النارَ بالحطَبِ
So keep my tongue from speaking of their faults;
So restrain my tongue from blaming them
Do not stoke the fire with firewood.
Do not stoke the fire with kindling

أرسلتَني والريحُ في طلَقٍ

You sent me forth while the wind was racing,
You sent me off as the wind blew free
But it failed, and I did not.
Yet it failed, and I did not fail
