A little misery for Sa'id,

لسعيد شويهة

1. A little misery for Sa'id,
Brought by hardship and distress.

١. لِسَعيدٍ شَوَيهَةٌ
نالَها الضُرُّ وَالعَجَف

2. She sang and saw,
A man carrying fodder.

٢. فَتَغَنَّت وَأَبصَرَت
رَجُلاً حامِلاً عَلَف

3. By He who in His palm,
Lies the cure for my sickness and grief.

٣. بِأَبي مَن بِكَفِّهِ
بُرءُ دائي مِنَ الدَنَف

4. He approached her greedily,
And she came to be dependent.

٤. فَأَتاها مُطَمِّعاً
وَأَتَتهُ لِتَعتَلِف

5. Then he turned away, so she returned,
Singing in sorrow.

٥. ثُمَّ وَلّى فَأَقبَلَت
تَتَغَنّى مِنَ الأَسَف

6. If only he had not stood,
Tormenting the heart, then left.

٦. لَيتَهُ لَم يَكُن وَقَف
عَذَّبَ القَلبَ وَاِنصَرَف
