إِنّي اِمتَدَحتُكَ كاذِباً فَأَثَبتَني

إِنّي اِمتَدَحتُكَ كاذِباً فَأَثَبتَني

لما اِمتَدَحتُكَ ما يُثابُ الكاذِبُ

لما اِمتَدَحتُكَ ما يُثابُ الكاذِبُ

Indeed, I praised you falsely, so you rewarded me

When I praised you falsely, you proved me true

when I praised you, with the reward a liar receives.

For when I praised you, no reward came to the liar
