1. لَمّا اِتَّصَلتِ اِتِّصالَ الخِلبِ بِالكَبِدِ

    ثُمَّ امتَزَجتِ اِمتِزاجَ الروحِ بِالجَسَدِ

    When you clung to me as the membrane clings to the liver,

    Then mingled with me as the soul mingles with the body,

  2. ساءَ الوُشاةُ مَكاني مِنكِ وَاِتَّقَدَت

    في صَدرِ كُلِّ عَدُوٍّ جَمرَةُ الحَسَدِ

    My place with you vexed the slanderers, and there blazed

    In every enemy's breast the ember of envy.

  3. فَليَسخَطِ الناسُ لا أُهدِ الرِضى لَهُمُ

    وَلا يَضِع لَكِ عَهدٌ آخَرَ الأَبَدِ

    So let people be angry; I will offer them no appeasement,

    And let no pledge to you be lost, to the end of time.

  4. لَوِ اِستَطَعتُ إِذا ما كُنتِ غائِبَةً

    غَضَضتُ طَرفي فَلَم أَنظُر إِلى أَحَدِ

    If I could, whenever you were absent,

    I would lower my gaze and look at no one.
