1. عذّبتَ قلبي بِبُخلِك

    فامنُن عليّ بوصلك

    You have tormented my heart with your stinginess.

    So grant me the favor of union with you.

  2. يا علَّتي وشقائي

    ماذا لقيت لأجلك

    O my affliction and my misery,

    What I have endured for your sake!

  3. حُسنِ وجهك إلاّ

    أمَّنتَني قُبحَ فعلك

    [By] the beauty of your face, I implore you:

    Protect me from the ugliness of your conduct.

  4. أرجو انعطافَك لكن

    أخاف من طول مَطلِك

    I hope for your tenderness, but

    I fear how long you will put me off.

  5. نهاك أهلك عني

    من أجل أهلِكَ أهلِك

    Your family forbade you to be with me;

    Because of your family, I perish.
