بعضُ من غارَمَني لازَمَني

ثُم قَد أَصبَحَ يَدعوني إِلَيك

Some who were infatuated with me stuck to me

Then they started inviting me to you

وعَلى جُودِكَ عَوَّلتُ به

مثل ما عَوَّل في الحُكمِ عَلَيك

And I relied on your generosity with them

Like one relying on your justice

وكِلانا أيُّها القاضِي عَلَى

ثِقَةٍ مِنكَ بِما نَرجو لدَيك

We both, oh judge, rely

On your trust in what we hope from you

فتُخلِّص من يَدَيهِ خائِفاً

خافَ أَن يُحضِرَهُ بينَ يَدَيك

So save from his hands one who is afraid

He fears being brought before you

فعَسى عندكَ ما تكنَى بهِ

وعَسى لي راحَةٌ مِن راحَتَيك

Maybe you have what satisfies you

And maybe I can have some of your peace
