لسانُ حالِ عذارٍ

لسانُ حالِ عذارٍ

مِنْ هاجري ليَ قائلْ

مِنْ هاجري ليَ قائلْ

The unspoken voice of the cheek-down

The tongue's proclamation of blame

Of the one who shuns me says to me:

From those detached from me, the speaker cries

لا تدنُ مني ودعني

لا تدنُ مني ودعني

أكتبْ وأنتَ تقابلْ

أكتبْ وأنتَ تقابلْ

Do not draw near me; let me

Do not come close to me, leave me be

Write, while you collate.

I write as you oppose
