يا من يَلومُ لقد أسأ

تَ إلى مُحبٍّ لُمتَهُ

O you who blame, I have indeed wronged

A lover, though mute he remained

لو كنتَ تعلمُ ما يُقا

سِي قلبُهُ لرحمتَهُ

Had you known what his heart concealed

You would have shown him mercy

أو لو رَثيتَ سألتَهُ

عَمَّا بهِ فَعلمتَهُ

Or had you asked what ailed his soul

And learned of his hidden pain

حتَّى تقول لمن أسا

ءَ إليهِ لم أسقمتَهُ

You'd say to whom I've caused hurt

"Do not torment or cause him bane"

أسقمتَهُ وَبليتَهُ

ما كانَ لو داويتَهُ

Do not torment or cause him bane

As you would, had you tried to heal
