1. يا هاجري بلا سبب

    إلى متى هذا الغَضَب

    O you who forsake me without cause,

    how long will this anger last?

  2. كن كيفما شئت فما

    للقلب عنك مُنقَلَب

    Be as you wish, for there is no

    way for the heart to turn away from you.

  3. مِثلُكَ مَن أعتَبَ في ال

    خبِّ ومثلي من عَتَب

    One like you makes amends for

    deceit, and one like me reproaches.

  4. يا مُستريحاً لم أنل

    من حُبِّه إلا التَّعَب

    O carefree one, I have gained nothing

    from loving you but weariness.

  5. تالله لو ذُقتَ الهوى

    ما كنت تَجفو من تُحب

    By God, had you tasted love,

    you would not shun the one you love.

  6. أنكرتَ ما بي من جَوى

    غالبَ صبري فانَغَلَب

    You denied the burning anguish within me;

    it battled my patience, and my patience was overcome.

  7. يا زمني هل للوصا

    ل عَودَه فيُرتَقَب

    O my time, is there for reunion

    a return to look forward to?

  8. هيهات أن يرجعَ من

    طيبِ الليالي ما ذَهَب

    Far beyond hope is the return of

    what has passed of the sweetness of nights.

  9. والدهرُ من عاداتِه

    أن يستردَّ ما وَهَب

    And one of Time's habits is

    to reclaim what it has bestowed.
