1. He who has blamed us for affection is more abundant
Where, say where, is he who reaped and changed?
١. مَن ذَمَمناهُ في المَوَدَّةِ أَكثَر
أَينَ قُل أَينَ مَن جَنى وَتَغَيَّر
2. As though I were to him with a thousand scriptures
And messenger and a thousand hollow covenants
٢. وَكَأَنّي مِنهُ بِأَلفِ كِتابٍ
وَرَسولٍ وَأَلفِ وَعدٍ مُزَوَّر
3. He shunned, obstinate, thinking disdain
Is appointed to pardon at all times
٣. وَتَجَنّى مُكابِراً يَحسُبُ الغَض
بانُ لِلعَفوِ كُلَّ وَقتٍ مُسَخَّر
4. I shall show him enmity and reveal my rejection
But other than that, I conceal
٤. سَوفَ أَبدي لَهُ وَأُظهِرُ تَصدي
قاً وَلَكِنَّني سِوى ذاكَ أُضمِر
