1. ألا فاعذرانِي إن عتبتُ عليكما

    وإن أنا أهديتُ الملامَ إليكما

    Ah, forgive me, you two, if I have reproached you,

    And if I have offered reproach to you both.

  2. لأَنكما أنكرتماني مودةً

    قديما كأني ما أقمت لدلكما

    For you two have denied me the affection

    Of old, as though I had never dwelt with you both.

  3. وقلتَمْ مقالا يحزن القلبَ بعضُه

    ولو لم تقولاه فمَاذَا عليكُما

    And you uttered words, some of which sadden the heart;

    And had you two not said them, what would it have cost you?

  4. أردّدُ فكرى فيكما كل ساعةٍ

    وحاشاكما والحقُّ بين يديكمُا

    I turn my thoughts about you both over every hour,

    And far be it from you both, while the truth lies before you.
