عَذَرتُكَ يا إنسانُ إنْ كنْتَ مُغرَماً

بغَدرٍ ومُغرىً بالتَّحَيُّلِ والنَّكْثِ

I excuse you, O man, if you are infatuated

With treachery, betrayal, guile and perfidy.

وكيفَ ألومُ المَرءَ في خُبْثِ فعلِهِ

وأوَّلُ شَيءٍ قد غَذاهُ دَمُ الطَّمْثِ

How can I blame a person for their evil acts

When the first thing they were fed was unclean blood.
