إِذا لَقَيتكَ تُبدي لي مُكاشَرَةٍ

وَإِن أَغِب فَلأَنتَ الهامِزُ اللُّمزَه

When I meet you, you show me friendliness

And if I'm absent, you backbite and slander me

ما كُنتُ أَخشى وَإِن طالَ الزَّمانُ بِهِ

حَيفٌ عَلى النّاسِ أَن يَغتابَني غُمَزَه

I never feared, though time dragged on endlessly

It's unfair that people would suspect and accuse me
