1. أَعِدْ مَدْحاً كَذبْتُ عليكَ فِيهِ

    وَقَد عَاقَبْتَ بِالحِرْمانِ عَنْهُ

    Give back the praise in which I lied about you;

    And you have punished me for it with deprivation.

  2. وَلكنّي سَأصدُقُ فِيكَ قَولاً

    فَلا يَصْعُبْ عليكَ الحَقُّ مِنْهُ

    But I shall speak truthfully about you,

    So let its truth not be hard for you to bear.
