هَجرْتَ فَتىً أَدْنَى الأَنامِ مَحَبَّةً

إِلَيكَ وَأَوْفَى مَنْ إِلى العَهْدِ يُنْسَبُ

You abandoned one who loved you more than all people

And kept truest to his word and pact

وَأَبْقَيْتَ منَْ لا يَرْتَضِي حِين تَرْتَضِي

وَلا هُوَ غَضْبانٌ إِذَا أَنْتَ تَغْضَبُ

And instead you kept by one who does not wish what you wish

Nor angers when you rage
