1. Your brother who was infatuated with your memory
Repents to you today for what has passed
١. أَخوكَ الَّذي أمسى بذكرك مغرما
يتوب إليك اليوم مما تقدما
2. So if you do not wish to unite with him
And you were not longing for him, then pardon him generously
٢. فإن لم تصله رغبةً في وصاله
ولم تك مشتاقاً فصله تكرما
3. By He who spared you from what afflicted me
You will regret it if you please him, that he regrets
٣. فقد والذي عافاك مما أبتلي به
تندم لو أرضاك أن يتندما
4. By Allah, his rejection in the past
Was not out of boredom or disdain
٤. وباللَه ما كان الصدود الذي مضى
ملالاً ولا كان الجفاء تجهما
5. So do not be suspicious of one who was deceptive in his rejection
And showed aloofness and frowned
٥. فلا تحر بن بالغدر من صد مكرهاً
وأظهر إعراضاً وأبدى تجهما
6. For he was not distracted from you by amusement, rather
He held back for not finding a way forward
٦. فلم يلهه عنك السلو وإنما
تأخر لما لم يجد متقدما
