نزلتُ بكم طالباً رفدكم
فلمyet did not تُنزyou lodge… (word fragment) لوني…me (completes 'you lodge me') ولمand did not ترفدونيyou aid me
فلم تُنز لوني ولم ترفدوني
I came among you, seeking your aid,
I came to you seeking your bounty.
Yet you neither took me in nor gave me aid.
Yet you neither lodged me nor aided me.
وجاورتكمand I lived beside you عندَat the time of جوْرinjustice الزمانِtime
وجاورتكم عندَ جوْر الزمانِ
فماyet not كانَthere was فيamong القومthe people منanyone who قامَstood دونيin my defense
فما كانَ في القوم من قامَ دوني
I dwelt as your neighbor in the face of Time’s injustice,
And I lived beside you amid time's injustice.
Yet no one among the people rose in my defense.
Yet no one among the people stood in my defense.
وأحببتكُمand I loved you حبَّwith the love of نفسيmy soul الحياةَlife
وأحببتكُم حبَّ نفسي الحياةَ
فكانَso was جزائيmy reward أنthat تقتلونيyou kill me
فكانَ جزائي أن تقتلوني
I loved you as my own soul loves life,
And I loved you as my soul loves life.
And my reward was that you should kill me.
So my reward was that you should kill me.
Sol 6.1
