1. أيعذِلُ لا يُعذِرُ

    ويتركُ من يهجرُ

    Does he reproach without excusing,

    and leave alone the one who forsakes?

  2. ولم ترني حينَ لوَّم

    تَ أسلو ولا أصبرُ

    And you did not see me, when you reproached me,

    finding solace or enduring patiently.

  3. كتمتُ الذي حلَّ بي

    وما خلتُهُ يظهرُ

    I concealed what had befallen me,

    and did not think it would show.

  4. ولم أدرِ أن الدمو

    عَ تهتِكُ ما أسترُ

    And I did not know that tears

    would lay bare what I conceal.
