سَكَنتُ بَعدَكَ رَبعَ الهَمِّ يا سَكَني

وَمَن تَمَلَّكَني عَبداً بِلا ثَمَنِ

After you left, a quarter of worry settled in me, O my tranquility,

And whoever possessed me without a price, I was a slave without worth,

لَمّا حَدا بِكَ إِفكُ الكاشِحينَ إِلى

سُبلِ الخِيانَةِ لي إِذ كُنتُ لَم أَخُنِ

When the slanderers schemed to lead me to the paths of betrayal, while I did not betray,

Conceal the coarseness of the face of stinginess from you, for my longing for your good kindness has been prolonged,

فَاِستُر سَماجَةَ وَجهِ البُخلِ مِنكَ فَقَد

طالَ اِشتِياقي إِلى إِحسانِكَ الحَسَنِ

Do not plant a palm tree from your bad assumption of me,

For how many palms produced fruit from the palm tree of assumptions.

لا تَغتَرِس دَوحَةً مِن سوءِ ظَنِّكَ بي

فَكَم قِلىً أَثمَرَتهُ دَوحَةُ الظِنَنِ
