قالوا سَفَكتَ دَماً عَزيزاً سَفكُهُ

وَيَدُ المَكارِمِ لا يُراقُ لَها دَمُ

They said you have shed precious blood in shedding it

Yet the hand of generosity has no blood shed for it

لا ذَنبَ لي فيما أَتَيتُ لِأَنَّني

قَبَّلتُ راحَتَهُ وَخَدّي مِخذَمُ

I am not to blame for what I have done, because

I kissed his palm, while my cheek was bruised
