1. We have complained hastily
On the hillside, and tears gush forth.
١. ولقد تَشَاكينَا على عَجَلٍ
بالسَّفْحِ والعَبراتُ تَنْسَفِحُ
2. If our lament appeared there,
You would see fire burst from it.
٢. فَلَوَ اَنَّ شكوانا هناك بدتْ
لرأيتَ منها النارَ تنقدحُ
3. What business have I with the blamers? If only
They died from their rage when they give advice!
٣. ما لي وللعُذَّالِ ليتَهُمُ
ماتوا بغيظهمُ إِذا نصحُوا
4. They say, “You have disgraced yourself.” If only they were truthful!
Who can help me with the fact that I disgrace myself over you?
٤. قالوا افتضحتَ وليتهمْ صدقُوا
من لي بأني فيكَ أفتضِحُ
