1. You have been good to me, my beloved
Be kind to the youth because of your dignity
١. مسيت بالخير يا حبيبي
كن بر للصبب من قداك
2. Your love has been craved by my companion
Quench his thirst from your sweet lips
٢. قد ذاق حبك طلا نسيبي
يشتى تسقيه من لماك
3. Rice pudding and date syrup could not appease
The one whose fate is like two planets
٣. ما أطعم الرز والمدلا
الذمن جرم كوكبان
4. O you whose life was given by righteous parents
And whose cheeks are like ripe apples
٤. يا من محياه بنت صلا
وفي خدوده خميشعان
5. And who is content with simple porridge
Prolong it with fragrant olive oil
٥. ومن رضا به عصيد مقلا
إدامها دهن جلجلان
6. Yet every hour you complain of me
While I'm the one who should complain of your aloofness
٦. في كل ساع وانت تشتكي بي
وأنا الذي أشتكي جفاك
7. You're neither my in-law nor my lover
Rather, the cause lies in your allure
٧. ولا انت صهري ولا حيبى
وإنما أصلها حلاك
