وَعَلّمتَني كَيفَ الهَوى وَجهلته

وَعَلَّمكم صَبري عَلى ظُلمِكُم ظُلمِي

You taught me passion though you were ignorant of it

And my patience with your wrong taught you to wrong me

وَأَعلَم ما لي عِندَكُم فَيَميل بي

هَوايَ إلى جَهل فَأُقصِر عَن عِلمِ

I know well what I have from you that draws me to you

My passion leads me to ignorance so I fall short of knowledge
