O departing one, bridling his camels as evening falls,
O you who depart when patience fails him
My patience has already bridled its mounts: it is the first to depart.
My patience had failed, so he was the first to depart

لُcompletes the word 'first' خاذِلٍone who forsakes والعَدْلُand justice أولُfirst عادلِone who turns aside
لُ خاذِلٍ والعَدْلُ أولُ عادلِ
If I try to bear your absence patiently, patience is the first
If I show patience in leaving you, such patience
to forsake me, and justice the first to turn aside.
Is the first betrayer while justice is the first righteous
