يا ذا الَّذي وَخَدَت مَطِيَّةُ لَومِهِ

إِذ حَثَّها الحادي الَّذي هُوَ جُهدُهُ

O you whose mount was blamed for his fault,

When the guide urged it on, for that is his role,

ما فِيَّ فَضلٌ لِاِستِماعِ مَلامَةٍ

في حُبِّ مَولايَ الَّذي أَنا عَبدُهُ

I have no merit in hearing blame,

For loving my Master, whom I serve,

ذا النُصحِ غِشٌّ لا مَحالَةَ مِنكَ لي

إِذا كُنتَ تَعلَمُ أَنَّ فَقدي فَقدُهُ

Your advice is surely insincere to me,

If you know that to lose me is to lose Him.
