1. قَدْ مَالَ سَمْعِي إِلى عُذَّالِهِ فِيكَا

    يَكْفِيكَ تَلْوِيحُ هَذا القَوْلِ يَكْفِيكَا

    My ear has indeed inclined toward its reproachers concerning you.

    The hint in these words is enough for you—enough for you.

  2. كَمْ بِتَّ تَفْكُر بُغْضاً كَيْف تُسْخِطُني

    وَبِتُّ أَفْكرُ حُبّاً كَيْفَ أُرْضِيكَا

    How often you spent the night thinking, out of hatred, how to anger me,

    while I spent the night thinking, out of love, how to please you.

  3. يا نَاظِريَّ ارْقُدا لا لِلخيالِ وَيا

    قَلْبي اسْترِحْ مِنْ هَوَى مَنْ كَادَ يُفْنِيكَا

    O my eyes, sleep—not for the phantom—and O

    my heart, rest from loving one who nearly destroyed you.

  4. وَكَيْفَ أَرْضَي لِنَفْسي أَنْ أُسوِّدَ مَنْ

    لَمْ يَرْضَ أَنّي لَهُ أَصْبَحْتُ مَمْلُوكَا

    And how could I accept as my master one

    who would not accept that I had become his slave?
