1. O her painful wounds so much:
I wish my ribs had been sacrificed  
١. ﻳﺎ ﺟﺮﺣﻬﺎ الموﺟﻌﻲ ﻛﺜﻴﺮاً:
 ﻟﻴﺖ ﺿﻠﻮﻋﻲ ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﻓﺪاءَ
2. And I wish the flowers of every valley
Blew softly to her cheek as healing! 
٢. وﻟﻴﺖ َأزﻫﺎرَ ﻛﻞ وادٍ
 ﺧَﻔﱠﺖْ إﻟﻰ ﺧﺪﻫﺎ ﺷﻔﺎء!
3. And o blood of the wound: I do not know  
Why has the eye deceived me 
٣. وﻳﺎ دم الجرح: ﻟﺴﺖ أدري
 ممَّا ﻟﻌﻴﻨﻲﱠ ﻗﺪ ﺗﺮاءَى
4. Was it the scent that flashed with color  
Or was it the rose that shed water 
٤. ﻫﻞ ﻫﻮ اﻟﻌﻄﺮ ﻻح ﻟﻮﻧًﺎ
 أم ﻫﻮ اﻟﻮرد ﺳﺎل ﻣﺎء
