1. My beloved's cheek adorned him,
His reproach, oh my woe!
١. خَدُّ الحَبيبِ زانَهُ
عِذارُهُ يا وَيلي
2. And I had thought he
Would incline towards me from his leaning,
٢. وَكانَ ظَنّي أَنَّهُ
يَميلُ بي عَن مَيلي
3. So there is no escape for me when
No, not the dawn nor the night.
٣. فَلا خَلاصَ لي إِذا
لا وَالضُحى وَاللَيلِ
