1. They taunt me for my silence, not knowing
That I am adorned with the virtues of nobility
١. هُم عَيَّروني بِالسُكوت وما دَروا
أَنّي بِأَخلاق الكِرام تَخلّقي
2. How strange! Should I be blamed when they have seen
That ordeals are assigned according to one's speech
٢. يا لِلعَجائب هَل أُلامُ وَقَد رَووا
أنّ البَلاء موكَّل بِالمَنطقِ
