1. إِذا ما عاذِلي سَمّا

    كِ قُلتُ أَعِد كَذا أَعِدِ

    Whenever my reproacher named

    you, I said: 'Repeat it—just so, repeat it!

  2. وَشِب لي بِاِسمِها عَذَلي

    وَزِدني ثُمَّ زِد وَزِدِ

    And mix, for me, her name into your reproaches;

    And give me more, then more, and more,

  3. نَهاري كُلَّهُ وَغَداً

    وَبَعدَ غَدٍ وَبَعدَ غَدِ

    All through my day, and tomorrow,

    And the day after tomorrow, and the day after that.'
