وَآلَيتِ أَن لا تَكتُبي فَفَجَعتِني

بِأَكبَرِ شَيءٍ مِنكِ كانَ يَكونُ

You promised not to write, so you grieved me

With the greatest thing about you that could be

فَأَحيي فَتىً قَد ماتَ هَمّاً وَكَفِّرِي

يَمينَكِ إِن كانَت عَلَيكِ يَمينُ

Revive a young man who died of worries and forgive

Your oath if you swore one

فَلَو أَنَّ ما أَشكو إِلَيكِ شَكوتُهُ

إِلى صَخرَةٍ كانَت لِذاكِ تَلينُ

If what I complain of to you I complained

To a rock, it would soften for that

وَفي القَلبِ ما لا يَنبَغي أَن أَبُثَّهُ

سِواكِ عَلى أَنَّ الرَسولَ أَمينُ

And in my heart is what should not be revealed

Except to you, since the messenger is trustworthy
