عَذَرتُ مَولايَ في تَركِ العِيادَةِ لي

إِذ كانَ في الوُدِّ عِندي غَيرَ مُتَّهَمِ

I excused my beloved for not visiting me

When he was blameless in my affection

لِأَنَّهُ مُشفِقٌ تَنهاهُ رَأفَتُهُ

عَن أَن يَراني في شَيءٍ مِنَ الأَلَمِ

For he is compassionate, his kindness prevented him

From seeing me in any pain
