1. O bouquet in my right hand offered to ruin
Grief and sorrow melted my heart for you
١. يا باقةً في يميني للرّدى بُذِلَتْ
أذابَ قَلبي عَلَيكِ الحُزْنُ والأسَفُ
2. Were you not meant as a jewel in the crown of beauty?
When you drowned, why did the oyster not protect you?
٢. أَلَم تَكوني لِتاجِ الحُسْنِ جَوهرةً
لَمّا غَرِقْتِ فَهَلّا صَانَكِ الصّدفُ
