May my father be your ransom! Your saliva is sweet, but
By my father, your spit is sweet, but
I am in distress from the sting of your coldness.
I am in agony from the sting of estrangement
فيكِin you شهدhoney وفيكِand in you لسعstinging فرفقاًso be gentle
فيكِ شهد وفيكِ لسع فرفقاً
بشجيٍّwith a lovelorn man أمسىhas reached nightfall وأنتِwhile you خليَّهcarefree
بشجيٍّ أمسى وأنتِ خليَّه
In you is honey, and in you a sting, so be gentle
In you is honey, in you is a sting, so be gentle
With a lovelorn man at nightfall, while you are carefree.
With one made wretched, while you remain at peace
