عَذَرتُ مَولايَ في تَركِ العِيادَةِ لي

عَذَرتُ مَولايَ في تَركِ العِيادَةِ لي

إِذ كانَ في الوُدِّ عِندي غَيرَ مُتَّهَمِ

إِذ كانَ في الوُدِّ عِندي غَيرَ مُتَّهَمِ

I excused my lord for not visiting me in sickness,

I excused my beloved for not visiting me

since, in my eyes, his affection was beyond suspicion.

When he was blameless in my affection

لِأَنَّهُ مُشفِقٌ تَنهاهُ رَأفَتُهُ

لِأَنَّهُ مُشفِقٌ تَنهاهُ رَأفَتُهُ

عَن أَن يَراني في شَيءٍ مِنَ الأَلَمِ

عَن أَن يَراني في شَيءٍ مِنَ الأَلَمِ

For he is compassionate; his tenderness keeps him

For he is compassionate, his kindness prevented him

from seeing me in any pain.

From seeing me in any pain
