1. You claim to the slanderers that I am corrupt,
Though I am not what you knew me to be.
١. وتزعم للواشين أني فاسدٌ
عليك وأني لست مما عهدتني
2. By God, my intention has not been corrupted,
Rather it is you who corrupted me and blamed me.
٢. وما فسدت لي يشهد اللَه نية
ولكنما استفسدتني فأتهمتني
3. You betrayed my covenant intentionally and deceived me,
So I was afraid, though had you trusted me I would have been faithful.
٣. غدرت بعهدي عامداً وأخفتني
فخفت ولو آمنتني لأتمنتني
4. To God I complain, not to you, for long have I
Complained of Him who cast me unto you, yet you increased me.
٤. إلى اللَه أشكو لا إليك فطالما
شكوت الذي ألقى إليك فزدتني
