«وَأُدِيمُ تَسَآلِي عَنِ السَّالِي»
I continue to inquire after the person who has forgotten me.
Udīmu means “I keep doing,” tasāʾulī is “my inquiries,” and al-sālī is someone who has become forgetful or detached. Where the previous line answers dislike with a gentle tone, this one answers neglect with continued concern.
The linked endings maqālī / qālī and tasāʾulī / sālī maintain the prose's rhyme while developing a coherent social ethic.
