عَلامَ صَرَمتَ حَبلَكَ مِن وَصولِ

فَدَيتُكَ وَاعتَزَزتَ عَلى ذَليلِ

Why have you refused me access though I gave myself for you?

While you disdained the abject, and acted so very high.

وَفيمَ أَنِفتَ مِن تَعليلِ صَبٍّ

صَحيحِ الوُدِّ ذي جِسمٍ عَليلِ

Why did you object to a sick man's raving, whose love was true, whose frame was frail?

Why did you not come back to me, when you were not accustomed to

فَهَلّا عُدتَني إِذ لَم تُعَوَّد

بِشَخصِكَ بِالكِتابِ أَوِ الرَسولِ

receiving messages through letter, book, or messenger?

I am wearied by your fickleness and stratagems.

لَقَد أَعيا تَلَوُّنُكَ اِحتِيالي

وَهَل يُغني اِحتِيالٌ في مَلولِ

Can tricks and cleverness help at the Resurrection?
