أَيُّها المُستَثيرُ عَتبي بِعُذرٍ

حَقُّهُ أَن يُمَضَّ مِنهُ العِتابُ

O you who provoke my blame with an excuse

It is right that reproach should be wiped out

قَد جَرى ما جَرى فَإِن كُنتَ جَلداً

فَاِطوِهِ بِالسُكوتِ فَهوَ الصَوابُ

What's done is done, so if you are patient

Endure it with silence, for that is best
