إِنْ صَدَّ وأَضْحَى لِلجَفَا يَعْتَمِدُ

أَوْ زَالَ وِدَادُهُ الَّذي أَعْتَقِدُ

If he is harsh and unkind, relying on disdain,

Or if his affection, which I cherish, should wane,

فَالأَمْرُ لَهُ وَمَا عَلَيْهِ حَرَجٌ

لاَ يَدْخُلُ بَيْنَهُ وبَيْنِي أَحَدُ

Then the matter rests with him - no burden he'll sustain;

None shall intrude between us, of this I'm certain.
