1. يا عاذلي .. ما تشوف العين مشتاقة

    لولا الحيا جاوبتك بدمعها الصافي

    O my reproacher, do you not see that my eye is yearning?

    Were it not for modesty, I would answer you with its clear tears.

  2. عطني جلد .. كان تنخاني على فراقه

    ودي الي من تركته ما أشبح خلافي

    Give me endurance, if you call on me to part from him.

    I wish, when I leave him, I could keep from looking back.

  3. لاح الجبين .. وجذبني نوض براقه

    حيثه ربيعي .. وورد الخد مصيافي

    His brow gleamed, and the flash of his lightning drew me.

    For he is my springtime, and the rose of his cheek my summer retreat.

  4. والغصن لولا المطر ما أخضرت أوراقه

    يا كيف عشب الوسم يترك وينعافي

    And without the rain, the branch's leaves would not have turned green.

    Oh, how can the grass of the autumn rains be abandoned and spurned?
