1. You broke my promise, my lady, and have changed since we parted;
While I have never ceased, since we broke, to languish in grief and pain.
١. أَخلَفتِ يا سَيِّدَتي وَعدي
نَعَم وَقَد غُيِّرتِ مِن بَعدي
2. Oh, my lady, how wide now the difference that lies between us!
How far your love from the love I bear you!
٢. وَها أَنا مِن بَعدِكُم لَم أَزَل
في دَولَةِ الأَحزَانِ وَالوَجدِ
3. For you sport and enjoy yourselves,
While the tears course down my cheeks.
٣. شَتّانَ يا سَيِّدَتي بَينَنا
شَتّانَ مِن وُدِّكُمُ وُدّي
٤. إِذ صِرتُمُ تَلهُون يَهنيكُمُ
وَدَمعُ عَينَيَّ عَلى خَدّي
