أَحَبَّتنا مَهلاً بِصَبٍّ ملكتُمُ
وَرِفقاً بِقَلبٍ لُبُّه قَد أَذَبتُمُ
Our beloved ones, go gently with a lover you have taken captive;
Our beloveds, be gentle with a lovesick one you have possessed;
and show tenderness to a heart whose very core you have melted.
And be kind to a heart whose core you have melted.
وَحَسبُكُم هَذا الصُدود فَإِنَّنا
نَرى عَظماً بِالصَدّ وَالبينُ أَعظَمُ
Let this shunning suffice you—for indeed we
And enough of this rejection from you, for we
deem rebuff grave, and separation graver still.
Find rejection grievous, and separation is graver still.
