أمِنّا أناساً كنتِ قد تأمنينهم

فزادوا علينا في الحديث وأوهموا

We trusted people whom you once trusted,

but they embellished our words and sowed false impressions.

وقالوا لنا ما لم نقل ثم كثَّروا

علينا وباحوا بالذي كنتُ أكتمُ

They attributed to us what we had never said, then multiplied it

against us—and divulged what I had kept concealed.
