My wildness offended that it should be angry over hurt,

وحوشي عتبا أن يغض على قذى

1. My wildness offended that it should be angry over hurt,
But that my Master should submit to degradation.

١. وَحوشِيَ عَتباً أَن يَغُضَّ عَلى قَذىً
وَلَكِن عَلى اِستِسلامِ مَولاهُ لِلذُلِّ

2. So your view of slaying me with your pardon is bounteous,
For you give life to noble deeds by such death.

٢. فَرَأيُكَ في قَتلي بِعَفوِكَ مُنعِماً
فَإِنَّكَ تُحيي المَكرُماتِ بِذا القَتلِ

3. Yet your displeasure at me has passed away,
As though you were striking with a blunted sword.

٣. عَلى أَنَّ عَتباً مِنكَ قَد مَرَّ مُرُّهُ
عَلَيَّ كَما لَو كُنتَ تَضرِبُ بِالنَصلِ

4. And I have no argument for attaining your pardon,
Nay, in my hand is what is in your hand of grace.

٤. وَما في يَدي مِن نَيلِ عَفوِكَ حُجَّةٌ
بَلى في يَدي ما في يَدَيكَ مِنَ الفَضلِ
