1. My heart is wounded as my gazelle-eyed beloved desired
Injured, so what is it to the blamers and what is it to me
١. فُؤادي كما شاءَت لِحاظُ غزالي
جريحٌ فما لِلعاذِلينَ ومالي
2. And my tears are strung like pearls upon my cheek as if
I commanded my tears to write down my words
٢. وَدَمعي نَظيمٌ فوق خَدّي كأنَّني
أَمَرتُ دُموعي أن تَخُطَّ مقالي
3. So the passerby may notice them and lament my passion
And the night patrol may read them and have mercy on my state
٣. لِيَلمحَها اللاحي فَيَرثي لِصَبوَتي
وَيَقرأَها الواشي فَيَرحمَ حالي
