وَذي ثِقَةٍ تَبَدَّلَ حينَ أَثرى

وَمِن شِيَمي مُراقَبَةُ الثِقاتِ

One I trusted changed when fortune smiled

And it is my way to watch over friends

فَقُلتُ لَهُ عَتَبتَ بِغَيرِ جُرمٍ

فِراراً مِن مَؤوناتِ العِداتِ

I said, you blame me though I'm innocent

To escape costs of reciprocated hate

فَعُد لِمَوَدَّتي وَعَلَيَّ أَلّا

أَبُثَّكَ حاجَةً حَتّى المَماتِ

Return to friendship and I promise not

To burden you with wants until death parts
