1. لا تلومي العذَّال من أَجْلِ عَذْلِي

    وابْسُطِي عُذْرهم جميعاً وعُذْري

    Do not blame the reproachers for reproaching me,

    And set forth the excuses of them all, and my own.

  2. أَنا واللهِ أَقْتَضِي منهُمُ العَذْ

    لَ لِعلْمِي بأَنَّهُ فيكَ يُغْرِي

    I, by God, seek reproach from them,

    For I know it makes me more enamored of you.
