1. أَرارَ اللَهُ مُخَّكَ في السُّلامى

    عَلى مَن بِالحِنينِ تُعَوِّلِينا

    May God melt the marrow in your joint bones.

    For whom do you wail with longing?

  2. فَلَستِ وَإِن حَنَنتِ أَشدَّ شوقاً

    وَلكِنِّي أُسِرُّ وَتُعلِنينا

    For, though you moan, your longing is no greater;

    but I conceal it, while you proclaim it.

  3. وَبي مِثلُ الَّذي بِكِ غَيرَ أَنّي

    أَجلُّ عَن العِقالِ وَتُعقَلينا

    And I feel the same as you, except that I

    am above being hobbled, while you are hobbled.
