Buthainah said, “O Jameel, have you doubted me?”

بثينة قالت يا جميل أربتني

1. Buthainah said, “O Jameel, have you doubted me?”
So I said, “We both doubt, O Buthainah.”

١. بُثَينَةُ قالَت يا جَميلُ أَرَبتَني
فَقُلتُ كِلانا يا بُثَينَ مُريبُ

2. And the one who doubts us is one who does not fulfill a trust,
Nor keeps secrets when absent.

٢. وَأَريَبُنا مَن لا يُؤَدّي أَمانَةً
وَلا يَحفَظُ الأَسرارَ حينَ يَغيبُ

3. It is far for one who does not seek a need.
As for one who has a need, it is near.

٣. بَعيدٌ عَلى مَن لَيسَ يَطلُبُ حاجَةً
وَأَمّا عَلى ذي حاجَةٍ فَقَريبُ
