عَذَلوهُ وَلَوْ دَرَوْا عَذَرُوهُ

ولَرَقُّوا لَهُ وما زَجَروهُ

They blamed him though they knew his excuse,

And would have pitied him, had they but chastised him.

قَبَرُوهُ بهجرهمْ حينَ صَدُّوا

ثُمَّ عادُوا بِوَصْلِهِمْ نَشَرُوهُ

They buried him with their estrangement when they turned away,

Then returned through their intimacy and revived him.
