1. إلى كم لا تفون وَعود صبّ

    له قلب بمطلكم يذاب

    How long will you fail to keep your promises to a lovesick lover,

    whose heart is melted by your delays?

  2. ولو كان العتاب يفيد أمراً

    لطال عليكم منه العتاب

    And if reproach could accomplish anything,

    his reproaches to you would go on at length.

  3. فهل يحظى بفوز بعد هذا

    فيرجو الوصل أم لا ما الجواب

    So will he find success after this,

    and thus hope for union—or not? What is the answer?
