1. They blamed though love, if not for love, they'd not blame
Would that they'd not supported nor abandoned
١. عَذَلوا وَلَولا الحُبُّ ما عَذَلوا
يا لَيتَ ما نَصَروا وَلا خَذَلوا
2. Blame them not for their blame, they are
Our loved ones, though ignorant made enemies
٢. لا لُمتُهُم في لَومِهِم فَهُمُ
أَحبابُنا وَعداةُ ما جَهِلوا
3. They entered my hearing and I tell you
The heart, they did not enter into
٣. دَخَلوا إِلى سَمعي وَأخبرُكُمُ
أَنَّ الفُؤادَ إِلَيهِ ما دَخَلوا
4. And I claimed accepting their words
Yet they doubted me, and did not accept
٤. وَقَد اِدَّعَيتُ قَبولَ قَولِهِمُ
وَقَد اِستَرابوا بي وَما قَبِلوا
5. Hear no blame, for they did not accept
From us, though they blamed and were not just
٥. لا تَسمَعوا عَذلاً فَما قَبِلوا
مِنّا فَقَد عَذَلوا وَما عَدَلوا
6. And they undertook with blame so that
They'd reach your place, but did not reach
٦. وَلَقَد تَعاطَوا بِالمَلامَةِ كَي
يَصِلوا مَكانَكُمُ فَما وَصَلوا
7. That place is a protected realm for you, and by you
Not wine reaches it, nor hope
٧. ذاكَ المَكانُ حِمىً لَكُم وَبِكُم
لا الخَمرُ تَبلِغُهُ وَلا الأَمَلُ
8. If Noah's son took your place
What the mountain didn't protect, it'd protect
٨. فَلَو اِبنُ نوحٍ كانَ مَوضِعَكُم
لَحَماهُ ما لَم يَحمِهِ الجَبَلُ
9. I send the wind into the far off lands, and if
They come near, from our breaths are the messengers
٩. الريحَ أُرسِلُ في البِعادِ فَإِن
تَدنوا فَمِن أَنفاسِنا الرُسُلُ
