هُم نَقَضوا عَهدَ الوِدادِ وأَقبَلوا

يَرمونَ من قَلبي البَقاءَ على العَهدِ

They broke the covenant of affection and came

casting from my heart the survival upon the covenant

يَقولون لو تَصفو صَفَونا وَهيهمُ

وفوا بالَّذي قالوا فَماذا الَّذي يُجدي

They say if you are pure then be pure with them

And fulfill what they have said so what is the benefit

أَلَم يَسمَعوا قَولَ الوشاة وَجاهَروا

على غير ذَنبٍ بالقَطيعَةِ والصَدِّ

Did they not hear the words of the slanderers and announced

with no fault the estrangement and rejection
