1. علامَ تَصُبُّ في أُذُني وَقَحَكْ

    وتُشْهِرُ حينَ تلقاني سِلاحَكْ؟

    Why do you pour your insolence into my ear

    and brandish your weapon when you meet me?

  2. أتوصدُ بابَ قلبِك عن وفائي؟

    وتفْتَحُ للرياح الهُوجِ ساَحَكْ؟

    Do you shut your heart’s door against my loyalty?

    And open your courtyard to the raging winds?

  3. لقد خدَعَتْك خائنةُ الليالي

    وسامَكَ من أهانَك واستباحَكْ

    The treachery of nights has indeed deceived you,

    and the one who humiliated and violated you has oppressed you.

  4. وغرَّنْك المطامعُ حين أوحَتْ

    إليك بأنَّ في قَتْلي نجاحَك

    And greedy ambitions deluded you when they suggested

    to you that your success lay in killing me.
