1. They said my love has grown old
And every determination in him has grown old
١. قالوا لقد شابَ الحبيبُ
وشابَ فيهِ كُلُّ عَزْمِ
2. And I see you wronging, in his love, the soul
A wrong, O what a wrong!
٢. وأَراك تظلم في هواهَ النـ
ـفْسَ ظُلماً أَيَّ ظُلْمِ
3. So I answered those who reviled me concerning him
I will taste it in every flavour
٣. فأَجبْت من شرَهِي عَلَيْـ
ـه أَذوقُه في كُلِّ طَعْم
