وَعَدتُمُ العَودَ وَما عُدتُمُ
فَأُمرِضَ القَلبُ وَما عُدتُمُ
You promised to return, yet you did not return.
So the heart was made ill, yet you did not visit it.
عودوا وُعودوا لِيُداوي الَّذي
بِالهَجرِ أَمرَضتُم فَأَرمَضتُمُ
Return and visit, that your return may heal the one
whom you sickened with estrangement, then scorched.
أَسَرتُمُ القَلبَ وَلَكِنَّكُم
لِلدَمعِ يَومَ البَينِ أَطلَقتُمُ
You took the heart captive, yet you
gave tears free rein on the day of parting.
وَحَسبُكُم أَنّي أَمينٌ عَلى
هَواكُمُ مِن بَعدِما خُنتُمُ
And let it suffice you that I am faithful to
my love for you, after you proved faithless.
تَعَلَّمَ الطَّيفُ القِلى مِنكُمُ
فَأَنتُمُ مِمَّن تَعَلَّمتُمُ
The dream-apparition learned aversion from you;
so you are among those from whom you learned.
دَمعي نَمومٌ مَذِلٌ بِالَّذي
أَمسى فُؤادي في الهَوى يَكتُمُ
My tears tell tales, divulging what
my heart has come to conceal in love.
قَتَلتُموني حينَ أَحبَبتُكُم
وَما بِهَذا يُقتَلُ المُسلِمُ
You killed me when I loved you.
Yet a Muslim is not to be killed for this.
Sol 6.1
