1. سَأُعطيكِ الرِضا وَأَموتُ غَماً

    وَأَسكُتُ لا أَغُمُّكِ بِالعِتابِ

    I shall give you satisfaction and die of grief,

    And remain silent, not distressing you with reproach.

  2. رَأَيتُكِ مَرَّةً تَهوَينَ وَصلي

    وَأَنتِ اليَومَ تَهوَينَ اِجتِنابي

    I once saw you desiring union with me,

    And today you desire to avoid me.

  3. وَغَيَّرَكِ الزَمانُ وَكُلُّ شَيءٍ

    يَصيرُ إِلى التَغَيُّرِ وَالذَهابِ

    And time has changed you, and everything

    Moves toward change and passing away.

  4. فَإِن يَكُنِ الصَوابُ لَدَيكِ قَتلي

    فَعَمّاكِ الإِلَهُ عَنِ الصَوابِ

    So if killing me is right in your eyes,

    Then may God blind you to what is right.
