1. من مسعدي من عَذيري

    من مُنصِفي من مُجيري

    Who will aid me? Who will defend me?

    Who will do me justice? Who will give me refuge?

  2. مِن آخذ بِيَميني

    مِن جور ظَبي غَرير

    Who will take me by my right hand

    To shield me from a guileless gazelle's cruelty?

  3. يا راحَتي وَاِرتِياحي

    وَبَهجَتي وَسُروري

    O my comfort and my ease,

    And my delight and my joy,

  4. مِن أَينَ آتي بِقَلب

    عَلى الصُدود صَبور

    From where can I bring a heart

    Patient in the face of rejection?

  5. إِن كُنتَ تَهوى تَلافي

    رَضَيتُ بِالمَقدور

    If you desire my ruin,

    I am content with what is decreed.

  6. لا بِتَّ يا مَن جَفاني

    بِلَيلة المَهجور

    May you never spend a night, O you who have forsaken me,

    Like the night of one forsaken.
