1. The forsaken say, forget about her
And cure the sickness in your heart with patience
١. يَقولُ العاذِلاتُ تَسَلَّ عَنها
وَداوِ غَليلَ قَلبِكَ بِالسُلُوِّ
2. Yet how can that be when a stolen glance from her
Is sweeter than gloating over an enemy's misfortune
٢. فَكَيفَ وَنَظرَةٌ مِنها اِختِلاساً
أَلَذُّ مِنَ الشَماتَةِ بِالعَدُوِّ
