1. Your beauty lures me with false hopes
Yet distances from me seeking
١. يُدنيكَ زورُ الأَماني
مِنّي وَتَنأى طِلابا
2. As though when I desire
Your contentment I desire youth
٢. كَأَنَّني حينَ أَبغي
رِضاكَ أَبغي الشَبابا
3. And crave from you a sin
To build reproach upon
٣. وَأَشتَهي مِنكَ ذَنباً
أَبني عَلَيهِ العِتابا
4. Until when there was a sin
I opened the door for excuse
٤. حَتّى إِذا كانَ ذَنبٌ
فَتَحتُ لِلعُذرِ بابا
5. I thirsted for a promise from you
And my arrival was a mirage
٥. ظَمِئتُ مِنكَ لِوَعدٍ
فَكانَ وِردي السَرابا
6. Your request was not disappointed
While mine to you was disappointed
٦. لا خابَ سُؤلُكَ أَمّا
سُؤلي لَدَيكَ فَخابا
