1. My heart has become an orphan
With an excuse that is sweetly blind
١. أضحى الفُؤاد مُتَيَمَّا
بِمُعَذَّرٍ حُلوِ اللُّمَى
2. My heart became gloomy when
I noticed it smiling
٢. أضنَى فُؤادى عِندما
لاحظتُه فَتَبَسَّما
3. And the place became empty and bid farewell
And I approached him eagerly
٣. وخلا المكانُ فَسَلَّمَا
4. But I saw him frown
And here he is, he turned away
٤. ودنوتُ منهُ مُقبلاً
لكن رأيتُه أجفَلا
5. And the guard appeared, so I said
May the guard be safe from blindness
٥. وأشار هاهو أقبَلا
وبدَا الرقيبُ فقلتُ
٦. سَلِمَ الرقيبُ من العمى
