1. يَقولونَ زُرنا واقضِ واجِبَ حَقِّنا

    وَقَد أَسقَطَت حالي حُقوقَهُمُ عَنّي

    They say, “Visit us and fulfill the duty you owe us.”

    Yet my plight has absolved me of my obligations to them.

  2. إِذا أَبصَروا حالي وَلَم يَأنَفوا لَها

    وَلا لَهُمُ مِنها أَنِفتُ لَهُم مِنّي

    If they see my plight and feel no shame for it,

    nor for themselves on its account, I feel ashamed of myself for their sake.
