يا رَسولي قَبِّلِ الأَر

ضَ إِذا جِئتَ إِلَيهِ

O my messenger, kiss the earth.

And when you come to him,

ثُمَّ عَرِّفهُ بِأَنّي

كُنتُ غَضباناً عَلَيهِ

then tell him that I

was angry with him.

قَرَّبَ الواشينَ حَتّى

أَكثَروا القَولَ لَدَيهِ

He drew the tale-bearers near, until

they spoke far too much in his presence.

كَيفَ يَرضى لي حَبيبٌ

ما جَرى بَينَ يَدَيهِ

How could a beloved of mine accept for me

what happened before his very eyes?
