يا من يَلومُ لقد أسأ

يا من يَلومُ لقد أسأ

تَ إلى مُحبٍّ لُمتَهُ

تَ إلى مُحبٍّ لُمتَهُ

O you who reproach, you have indeed done wrong

O you who blame, I have indeed wronged

To a lover whom you reproached.

A lover, though mute he remained

لو كنتَ تعلمُ ما يُقا

لو كنتَ تعلمُ ما يُقا

سِي قلبُهُ لرحمتَهُ

سِي قلبُهُ لرحمتَهُ

Had you known what

Had you known what his heart concealed

His heart endures, you would have pitied him.

You would have shown him mercy

أو لو رَثيتَ سألتَهُ

أو لو رَثيتَ سألتَهُ

عَمَّا بهِ فَعلمتَهُ

عَمَّا بهِ فَعلمتَهُ

Or had you felt pity, you would have asked him

Or had you asked what ailed his soul

About what ails him, and so learned of it,

And learned of his hidden pain

حتَّى تقول لمن أسا

حتَّى تقول لمن أسا

ءَ إليهِ لم أسقمتَهُ

ءَ إليهِ لم أسقمتَهُ

So that you would say to the one who wronged

You'd say to whom I've caused hurt

Him, 'Why have you made him ill?

"Do not torment or cause him bane"

أسقمتَهُ وَبليتَهُ

أسقمتَهُ وَبليتَهُ

ما كانَ لو داويتَهُ

ما كانَ لو داويتَهُ

You have made him ill and afflicted him;

Do not torment or cause him bane

What harm would there have been had you healed him?'

As you would, had you tried to heal
