1. بالذي ألْهَمَ تعذي

    بي ثناياكَ العذابا

    By Him who inspired my torment

    in your sweet front teeth,

  2. والذي صيَّرَ حظّي

    منكَ هجراً واجتنابا

    and by Him who made my lot

    from you estrangement and avoidance:

  3. ما الذي قالتْهُ عينا

    كَ لقلبي فأجابا

    what did your two eyes say

    to my heart, that it answered?
