Sol 6.1

  1. زعمت بنفسي أنت أنك مغرم

    بذكري وإني عن وصالك مضرب

    You claimed—my soul be your ransom—that you are lovesick

    with thoughts of me, and that I shun union with you.

  2. أعد نظراً فيما ادعيت ولا تحد

    لتعلم من منا الشقي المعذب

    Look again at what you claimed, and do not turn aside,

    so you may know which of us is wretched and tormented:

  3. أمن يتجنى ثم ينكر ما جنى

    على إلفه أم من يقر ويعتب

    Is it he who falsely accuses, then denies the wrong he did

    to his beloved, or he who confesses and makes amends?

  4. ولو كنت تجزي بالذي نستحقه

    غضبت ولكني من الهجر أهرب

    Were you repaid with what is our due,

    you would be angry; but I flee estrangement.

  5. فأغضي على جمر الغضا خشية القلى

    ولولا الهوى ما ضاق عني مهرب

    So I close my eyes upon ghada's embers, fearing hatred;

    and were it not for love, no escape would be barred to me.

  6. فحتام لا أنفك شوقاً إلى الرضا

    أصدق من صدقي لديه مكذب

    How long, then, must I go on, longing for reconciliation,

    believing one in whose eyes my truth is a lie?

  7. وما لي من ذنبٍ إليك تعده

    علي سوى أن ليس لي عنك مذهب

    And I have no offense against you that you can count

    against me, save that I have no way to leave you.
