1. مملك الحسن على قلبي

    يهجرني ظلماً بلا ذنب

    He whom beauty has made king over my heart

    forsakes me unjustly, though I have done no wrong.

  2. يغضب من حبي له والذي

    يخفى عليه أكثر الحب

    He is angered by my love for him, and what

    is hidden from him is most of that love.

  3. إن كان من وجدي به عاتباً

    فزادني الله من العتب

    If he reproaches me for my passion for him,

    then may God grant me still more reproach.

  4. يقولُ حسبي منكَ لكنني

    أقولُ حسبي أنتَ يا حسبي

    He says, "I've had enough of you," but I

    say, "You are all I need, O all I need!"
