وأُرَجِّي بالنَّصْبِ مَشْيَ أُمورِي

وَإلى كَمْ شِرائي بِالجَرِّ مِنهُ

وانصِرافي بِخاطِرٍ مَكْسورِ

وانصِرافي بِخاطِرٍ مَكْسورِ

And how long must I buy from him on credit,

And to how much my shopping with it being pulled from him

And leave with a broken heart?

And my departure with a broken heart
