وَإِنْ تَكُ قَدْ سَاءَتْكِ مِنِّي خَلِيقَةٌ
فَسُلِّي ثِيَابِي مِنْ ثِيَابِكِ تَنْسُلِ
“And if some trait of mine has displeased you, draw my garments out from among yours, so that they slip away”—that is, let the bond be separated clearly if you insist on parting.
The opening clause allows for the possibility that something in the poet’s character has caused displeasure. The second clause depicts separation through garments being disentangled, rather than describing a literal instruction about washing or changing clothes.
Tansul conveys removal or slipping out. Here clothing, a concrete image, represents an intangible relationship between two people.
