طمعتُ بالعدلِ والإحسانِ منكَ معاً

فكنتَ عنديَ بالإحسانِ غيرَ سخي

I hoped for justice and kindness together from you

Yet with kindness you were not generous towards me

وقلتُ يكفِي فقامَ العدلُ ينشدُني

حاشاهُ يفرقُ ما بيني وبين أخي

And I said justice alone would suffice, so justice came seeking me

Far be it! It separates what is between me and my brother
