1. لَجَّت عُتَيبَةُ في هَجري فَقُلتُ لَها

    تَبارَكَ اللَهُ ما أَجفاكِ يا مَلَكَه

    ʿUtaybah persisted in shunning me, so I said to her:

    Blessed be God! How cruel you are, O queen!

  2. إِن كُنتِ أَزمَعتِ يا سُؤلي وَيا أَمَلي

    حَقّاً عَلى عَبذِكِ المِسكينِ بِالهَلكَه

    If you have resolved, O my desire and my hope,

    truly to bring destruction upon your wretched slave,

  3. فَقَد رَضيتُ بِما أَصبَحتِ راضِيَةً

    ها قَد هَلَكتُ عَلى اِسمِ اللَهِ وَالبَرَكَه

    then I am content with what you are now content with.

    Behold, I have perished—in God's name and with blessing.
