He falsely charged me with a fault, though the fault was his.
He blamed me for a sin though the sin was his
And reproached me unjustly, though the blame lay on his side.
And unjustly reproached me, the blame in his own heart

And turned away once my heart was in his palm.
He turned away though my heart was in his hand
Why, then, did he not spurn me when my heart was mine?
Why did he not reject me when my heart was still mine
إذاwhen برمtires المولىthe master بخدمةof the service of عبدهhis servant
إذا برم المولى بخدمة عبده
تجنىfabricates لهfor him ذنباًa fault وإنeven if لمnot يكنexist ذنبa fault
تجنى له ذنباً وإن لم يكن ذنب
When a master tires of his servant’s service,
When a master is annoyed with his servant's service
he invents a fault for him, even if no fault exists.
A sin is attributed to him though he did not sin
