ولقد يظنُّ بي الغُيورُ ظنونه

ولقد يظنُّ بي الغُيورُ ظنونه

فيحُوز جُلَّ ظنونه آثاما

فيحُوز جُلَّ ظنونه آثاما

And indeed the jealous man harbors his suspicions of me,

The jealous think of me in their manner

And so incurs sins for most of his suspicions.

So all their thoughts about me accrue sins

أبدي ظواهرَ تحتَها إنْ فُتِّشتْ

أبدي ظواهرَ تحتَها إنْ فُتِّشتْ

مني بطائنُ تكذُبُ الإيهاما

I show outward appearances beneath which, if examined,

I show appearances that if probed

Lie inner realities of mine that belie the false impression.

My essence belies the delusions
