1. كم صدودٍ وكَم قلا

    ووصالي بكُم غلا

    How much rejection, and how much disdain!

    And my union with you has grown costly.

  2. لو صلي القلبُ بلظى

    ما سلاكُم وما فلا

    Even if the heart were scorched in blazing fire,

    It would not forget you, nor turn away.

  3. عذّبوا كيفَ شئتُم

    فعذابي بكُم حلا

    Torment me however you wish,

    For my torment at your hands has grown sweet.

  4. هاجرَ النومُ مقلتي

    واصطباري ترحّلا

    Sleep has forsaken my eye,

    And my patience has departed.

  5. مطلقُ الدمعِ مرسَلٌ

    وعذولي تقوّلا

    My tears are loosed, flowing freely,

    And my reproacher has spoken falsely.

  6. ودموعي تواتَرَت

    فوقَ خدّي تسَلسَلا

    And my tears have followed one another,

    In an unbroken stream over my cheek.

  7. فارحموا مغرَما بكُم

    في هواكُم تغزَّلا

    So have mercy on one enamored of you,

    Who has sung of his love for you.
