صَفَحتُ بِرُغمي عَنكَ صَفحَ ضَرورَةٍ

صَفَحتُ بِرُغمي عَنكَ صَفحَ ضَرورَةٍ

إِلَيكَ وَفي قَلبي بُيوتٌ مِنَ العَتبِ

إِلَيكَ وَفي قَلبي بُيوتٌ مِنَ العَتبِ

I forgave you against my will, a pardon born of my need

I forgave you against my will, a forgiveness of necessity

for you, while my heart holds houses of reproach.

Toward you, while in my heart are houses of reproach
