1. He lightens his tread as I walk behind him
Yet denies my eyes the touch of dust from his feet
١. يُخَفِّفُ وَطئاً حينَ أَمشي وَراءَهُ
فَيَبخَلُ عَن عَيني بِمَسِّ تُرابِ
2. He refuses reproach, though it burns within me
No miser more sparing of torment could be
٢. أَبى العَتبَ وَهوَ النارُ بَينَ جَوانِحي
وَأَبخَلُ خَلقٍ باخِلٌ بِعَذابِ
