إِلى الله أَشكو ما تُكن الجوانحُ

تقاطعت الارحام حتى الجَوارحُ

I complain to God of what the wings conceal

Bonds of kinship have been severed to the core

فلستَ تَرى الا قلوباً وألسُناً

مُخالفةً هذى لهذى كواشحُ

You see only hearts and tongues

Each of them contradicting the other unveiled

فللقلبِ عَقد واللسانُ بنطقهِ

يُخالِفه والفعلُ للكُلّ فاضحُ

The heart has its own covenant and the tongue with its speech

Contradicts it while the deed for all is evident
