1. سَأَبكي وَمالي غَير عَيني مُعَوَّلٌ

    عَلَيكِ وَمالي غَيرُ حُبِّكِ مِن جُرمِ

    I shall weep, with no recourse but my eye,

    over you; and I have no crime but loving you.

  2. لَعَلَّ اِنسِكابَ الدَمعِ أَن يُذهِبَ الأَسى

    وَيَشفي مِمّا بِالفُؤَادِ مِنَ السُقمِ

    Perhaps the shedding of tears will dispel sorrow

    and cure me of the sickness within my heart.
