1. لَولا مُفارَقَةُ الرِيَب

    ما كُنتَ مِمَّن يَحتَجِب

    Were it not for parting from blame

    I'd not be one who hides away

  2. أَو لا فَعِيٌّ فيكَ أَو

    بُخلٌ عَلى أَهلِ الطَلَب

    Nor laziness in you, nor

    Stinginess towards seekers

  3. فَاِكشِف لَنا وَجهَ العِتا

    بِ وَلا تُبالِ مَن عَتَب

    So unveil for us the face of censure

    And care not who might blame
