أقول لصاحب لي فيه تيه

عليّ ولم أرد يوما حياضه

I say to a friend I lost myself in

He wronged me, yet I never sought his harm

ولم تبلل يداه يديّ يوما

ولم أحذر لنخوته القياضه

And my hands were never drenched by his blood

Nor did I fear his pride would seek revenge

بحسب منافعي منك اطّراحي

إذا سلمت وأحتمل الغضاضه

It's enough for me how much I gained from you

So long as I'm safe, I can bear the bitterness
