1. تراني سلوتكَ لا والذي

    يرقيكَ ما عِشتَ لي واصلا

    Do you think I have forgotten you? No, by Him

    who protects you with charms, so long as you live united with me.

  2. أما ليَ من عَبرتي شاهدٌ

    يريكَ بلى بدناً ناحلا

    Have I not in my tears a witness

    that shows you—yes—a wasted body,

  3. ومن حَسرةٍ تركت لِلحشا

    بزَفرَتِها شُغلاً شاغِلا

    and in a grief that has left within my breast

    an all-consuming care through its sigh?

  4. أتجهلُ ما بي ولكنَّني

    أظنُّ صدودَكَ لي قاتِلا

    Do you not know what ails me? Yet I

    think your turning away is fatal to me.
