1. Today I realized that love is fickle
And that its companion is in peril because of me
١. اليَوم أَيقَنتُ أَن الحُبَّ مُتلِفةٌ
وَأَنّ صاحِبهُ منّي عَلى خَطرِ
2. How is life for one who finds himself on the verge
Of death, between fear and caution
٢. كَيفَ الحَياة لِمَن أَمسى عَلى شَرَفٍ
مِنَ المَنيّةِ بَينَ الخَوفِ وَالحَذَرِ
3. He blames his eyes sometimes for their sin
And sometimes attributes the sin to fate
٣. يَلومُ عَينَيهِ أَحياناً بِذَنبِهُما
وَيَحملُ الذَّنبَ أَحياناً عَلى القدرِ
