1. O unfaithful one, seldom does he
Keep true to the one who loves him
١. يا مَلولاً قلّما يَرْ
عَى لِمن يَهواهُ عَهدَا
2. O unjust one, whenever I implore him
He goes astray and becomes aloof
٢. يا ظَلوماَ كلّمَا استع
طَفْتُه تَاهَ وصَدّا
3. Why, O my beloved, did you make estrangement
Before distance became far
٣. لِمْ جَعلتَ الهجرَ يا مو
لايَ قبل البُعد بُعدَا
4. I see not from you in my state of
Approval or anger any substitute
٤. مَا أرى لي منك في حَا
لِ الرّضا والسُّخطِ بُدّا
