يا جائراً وهوايَ يَعذُرَه
منكfrom you الذّنوبُthe wrongs ومنِّيَand from me العُذْرُthe excuse
منك الذّنوبُ ومنِّيَ العُذْرُ
O unjust one, whom my love excuses,
O unjust one though my love excuses you
From you come the wrongs; from me, the excuses.
The sins are from you, the excuses from me

غِرّا ولكنَّ الهوى غَرُّ
Do not think me, regarding your weariness of me,
Think not that I am unwearied of you
Naive—but love is a deceiver.
Only the passion is deceitful
وأرىand I see سبيلَthe path الهجرِof parting واضِحةًclear
وأرى سبيلَ الهجرِ واضِحةً
مسلوكةًtraversable لوif كانthere were ليfor me صبْرُpatience
مسلوكةً لو كان لي صبْرُ
And I see the path of parting clear,
And I see the way of separation clear
Traversable, if only I had patience.
If only I had the patience to take it
Sol 6.1
