أصميتني قتلاً ولم أدر
O you who shot at my heart and did not miss it,
O you who struck my heart but missed
You struck me dead, and I was unaware.
You left me deafened, though I was unaware

Love helped you to slay me;
Love aided you in my murder
Both of you have indeed embraced treachery.
No, it was not so, as it has been accused of betrayal
