1. يا فَوزُ يا مُنيَةَ عَبّاسِ

    قَلبي يُفَدّي قَلبَكِ القاسي

    O Fawz, O Abbas’s heart’s desire!

    My heart offers itself as ransom for your cruel heart.

  2. أَسأتُ إِذ أَحسَنتُ ظَنّي بِكُم

    وَالحَزمُ سوءُ الظَنِّ بِالناسِ

    I erred when I thought well of you.

    And prudence is to think ill of people.

  3. يُقلِقُني الشَوقُ فَآتيكُمُ

    وَالقَلبُ مَملوءٌ مِنَ الياسِ

    Longing unsettles me, so I come to you.

    And my heart is filled with despair.

  4. أَعطَيتُ قَلبي فيكُمُ سُؤلَهُ

    فَعادَ إِعطائي عَلى راسي

    I granted my heart its wish for you.

    So my giving rebounded upon my own head.
