1. أَظهَرَ بَعدَ الوَصلِ هِجرانا

    وَصَيَّرَ العِلّاتِ أَعوانا

    He showed estrangement after union,

    And made excuses his allies.

  2. يَعُدُّ إِحساني ذُنوباً كَما

    أَعُدُّ مِنهُ الذَنبَ غُفرانا

    He counts my kindness as sins, just as

    I count his sin as forgiveness.

  3. يا مُظهِراً في النَومِ هِجرانا

    حَسبُكَ ما تَفعَلُ يَقظانا

    O you who show estrangement in sleep,

    What you do while awake is enough!

  4. لَو كُنتَ في حُبّيكَ لي مُنصِفاً

    جازَيتَ بِالإِحسانِ إِحسانا

    If you were fair in your love for me,

    You would repay kindness with kindness.
