ماذا عَلَيهِم وَما لَهُم خَرِسوا

لَو أَنَّهُم في عُيوبِهِم نَظَروا

What is wrong with them, why are they silent

If only they would look at their own flaws

أَعشَقُ وَحدي وَيُؤخَذونَ بِهِ

كَالتُركِ تَغزو فَتُؤخَذُ الخَزَرُ

I love solitude, yet they take offense

Like Turks who attack, then Khazars take recompense
