1. سقياً لزَورٍ من طيفٍ مُحتَجِبِ

    عاتبته في المنامِ فاعتذَرا

    May rain bless a visit from a veiled phantom!

    I reproached him in a dream, so he apologized.

  2. فزالَ حِقدُ الضميرِ عن سَكَنٍ

    يُسخطُني رائحاً ومبتَكرا

    So my heart was rid of rancor toward a beloved

    who angers me evening and early morning.

  3. رضيتُ من عُذرِ من أقام

    على الذنبِ بطيفٍ ألَمَّ مُعتَذِرا

    I accepted, as an excuse from one who persisted

    in wrongdoing, a phantom that came apologizing.
