1. وحق عينيك يا من حين غاب غدر

    ما حن مذ غبت قلبي في الهوى لبشر

    And by the sanctity of your eyes, O you who broke faith when you went away,

    my heart has yearned in love for no one since you left.

  2. فكيف ارضاك اشمات العدو بمن

    بك المحبين بالعز المشمشع سر

    How, then, did it please you to make the enemy gloat over one

    who, through you, gladdened lovers with radiant honor?

  3. ملأت جيبي من دمعي وكم علنا

    ملت جيبك يا ريم الحمى بدرر

    You filled my bosom with my tears; and how often, openly,

    I filled your bosom with pearls, O gazelle of the sanctuary.
