وأيَّةُ نفسٍ لا تذلُّ على الهَجرِ
I find myself abased in spirit since you became reproachful;
I've been abased, my soul brought low, since you began to blame.
And what soul is not humbled by estrangement?
What soul does not bow down when love withdraws its flame?

Part of me reproaches another over you, yet all of me
Parts of me argue with each other over you.
Is turned toward you, and love of forgiveness makes room for an excuse.
Yet all of me belongs to you. Forgiveness finds excuse.
