Grant that I concealed the love within me:
Show me kindness, I hide that within me which is passion,
did not my inner self give voice to what was within me?
Did not my conscience act as translator of what is within me?

ظلوماً لألفي أو أرى متظلما
And I have always been ashamed before people to be seen
And I am still shy before people, that I should see
as unjust to my beloved, or to be seen complaining of injustice.
A wrong done to my beloved, or that I should see one wronged,

By God, this morning I have not changed from what
By Allah, the morning has not dawned since when
you knew of me; but then I was blessed.
I made a pledge, except that I was then content,

وقد ذاب قلبي اليوم شوقاً وصبوةً

And today my heart has melted with longing and passion
And my heart melted today from yearning and love
for you, yet you show no pity for my heart's suffering from both.
For you, and none sympathizes with my heart about them,
فلاso do not تتعجبbe surprised أنthat تظلمتI complained of injustice محوجاًin need
فلا تتعجب أن تظلمت محوجاً
فقدfor indeed حانthe time has come للمظلومfor the wronged أنto يتظلماcomplain of injustice
فقد حان للمظلوم أن يتظلما
So do not be surprised that, in my need, I have complained of injustice;
So do not be astonished that I complain wronged,
for the time has come for the wronged to complain of injustice.
For it is time for the wronged one to complain.
Sol 6.1
