1. يَا مَنْ لَهُمْ عَلَيَّ وَحْدِي فَرْضُ

    لَمْ يُبْقِ تَهتُّكِي بِكُمْ لِي عِرْضُ

    O you to whom I alone owe a duty,

    My shameless passion for you has left me no honor.

  2. أَحْبابي مُذْ نأيتُمُ عَنْ بَصَرِي

    ضَاقَتْ وَحياتِكُمْ عليَّ الأَرْضُ

    My beloveds, since you went far from my sight,

    By your lives, the earth has grown narrow around me.
