1. تَشَاغَلتُمُ عنَّا بصُحبةِ غيرِنا

    وأظَهرتُمُ الهِجرانَ ما هكذا كُنَّا

    You turned your attention from us to the company of others.

    And you made your estrangement plain; this was not how we were.

  2. وأقسَمتُمُ ألا تَحولوا عن الهوى

    فقد وحياة الحبِّ حُلتُم وما حلنا

    And you swore not to turn away from love.

    Yet, by the life of love, you have changed, and we have not.

  3. لياليَ بِتنَا نَجتني من ثِمارِكم

    فقلبي إِلى تلك الليالي لقد حَنَّا

    The nights we spent gathering some of your fruits—

    So my heart has indeed yearned for those nights.
