1. O you who forgets covenants easily
By what law is shedding my blood made lawful?
١. يا قليلَ الحفظِ لِلذِّمَمِ
أيّ شَرْع فيهِ حُلّ دمي
2. Does affection remain for those whose souls you have won over,
O intimate friend, due to your wisdom?
٢. هَلْ لِمَنْ أتْلَفْتَ مُهجَتّهُ
يا شقيقَ النَّفسِ مِنْ حكَمِ
