1. Oh aching heart, you fell in love
With one who is obsessed with gazelles, so he seduced me
١. أواه يا قلب عليل تعلَّقت
في حب منهو بالنواعس فتني
2. My eyes tried to resist but could not
His love took over my heart, mind and thoughts
٢. حاولت عيني تمتنع ما تملكت
حبه مَلك قلبي وفكري وظني
3. The night we met, oh my conscience, you were in pain
My passions were aroused and my eyes ignored me
٣. ليلة لقانا يا ضميري تلوعت
هاجت شجوني والعيون أهملني
4. God give me strength, I endured with affection
No one upset me or lightened my burden
٤. عز الله اني بالموده تحملت
محد(ن) فزعلي وخفف الحمل عني
5. His love slaughtered me, if only I did not ignite
With passion for him, increasing my longing
٥. حبه ذبحني ليتني ما تولعت
منه العذاب و زايد الشوق مني
6. If only I could soothe my desire, I could not
I who cry and sing for his love
٦. لا قلت أبسلى رغبتي ما تمكنت
انا الذي في حبه ابكي و اغنيّ
7. If only from the start, I valued privacy
I would not have come to anyone who protects or stabs me
٧. لو إني من اول للغرابيل ثمَّنت
ما جيت حد حماه ولا طعني
