قُلْتُ ثَقَّلْتُ إذْ أَتَيْتُ مراراً

قالَ ثَقَّلْتَ كاهِلِي بالأَيادِي

I said, I burdened, when I came again and again

He said, "You've burdened my shoulders with (your) hands"

قلتُ طَوَّلْت قال لا بل تَطَوَّ

لت وأَبرمتُ قالَ حَبْلَ ودادِي

I said, "I've been long (in coming)" He said, "No, but you have twisted

And severed the rope of my love"
