إنْ ملَّتْ لي الوشاةُ عيناً عينا

منْ مثلكَ نحوَهم حرْنا وحرْنا

If the fault-finders' eyes looked at me one by one

Like you, their accusations would burn and burn

أو شبَّهكَ الأنامُ غصناً غصنا

في لومهمُ فأنتَ معنى معنى

Or if people compared you to branch after branch

In their blame, you are the essence of essence
