يا عاذِلانِ أَسَأتُما العَذلا

يا عاذِلانِ أَسَأتُما العَذلا

لا مَرحَباً بِكُما وَلا أَهلا

لا مَرحَباً بِكُما وَلا أَهلا

O you two reproachers, you have erred in your reproach.

O you who blame, you have blamed unjustly,

No welcome to you both, nor a warm reception!

You are not welcome, nor greeted.

أَعَذَلتُما مَن لَم يَمَلَّ هَوىً

أَعَذَلتُما مَن لَم يَمَلَّ هَوىً

وَتَرَكتُما عَذلَ الَّذي مَلّا

وَتَرَكتُما عَذلَ الَّذي مَلّا

Have you both reproached one who has not tired of love,

You blamed one whose love does not tire,

and left off reproaching the one who has,

And left blaming one who did tire.

وَلَحَوتُما المَقتولَ مِن كَمَدٍ

وَلَحَوتُما المَقتولَ مِن كَمَدٍ

وَعَذَلتُما مَن طَرَّقَ القَتلا

وَعَذَلتُما مَن طَرَّقَ القَتلا

and censured the one slain by anguish,

You sought the slain with pretense,

and reproached the one who paved the way for killing?

And blamed the one who avoided murder.

لَو أَنَّ غَيرَ دَمي ذَهَبتِ بِهِ

لَو أَنَّ غَيرَ دَمي ذَهَبتِ بِهِ

لَم تُسأَلي قَوَداً وَلا عَقلا

لَم تُسأَلي قَوَداً وَلا عَقلا

Had you taken anything other than my blood,

Had another's blood been shed by you,

you would not be asked for retaliation or blood money.

You'd not be asked for legal death payment or compensation.
