1. عَدلٌ مِنَ اللَهِ أَبكاني وَأَضحَكَكُم

    فَالحَمدُ لِلَّهِ عَدلٌ كُلُّ ما صَنَعا

    Justice from God made me weep and made you laugh.

    So praise be to God; all He has done is just.

  2. اليَومَ أَبكي عَلى قَلبي وَأَندُبُهُ

    قَلبٌ أَلَحَّ عَلَيهِ الحُزنُ فَاِنصَدَعا

    Today I weep over my heart and lament it.

    A heart upon which sorrow pressed relentlessly, so it split apart.

  3. لِلحُبِّ في كُلِّ عُضوٍ لي عَلى حِدَةٍ

    لَذعٌ يُفَرِّقُ عَنهُ الصَبرَ وَالجَزَعا

    In each limb of mine, separately, love has

    A sting that drives patience and anguish away from it.
