1. من كثر حبي لك تركتك وصديت

    والقلب خالفني عليك وتركني

    Out of my great love for you, I left you and turned away.

    But my heart defied me over you and abandoned me.

  2. من شان عينك هنت عيني وضحيت

    وش عاد لو سهر الليالي هلكني

    For your eye's sake, I held my own eye cheap and sacrificed.

    What does it matter if sleepless nights have destroyed me?

  3. ابيك وابعد عنك حبي وانا ميت

    والوم حظٍ بالبلاوي شبكني

    I want you, yet stay away from you, my love, though I am dying.

    And I blame the fate that entangled me in calamities.

  4. واذا دعاني حبي الذات عييت

    احبك اكثر ياعذابٍ ملكني

    And when my self-love called me, I refused.

    I love you more, O torment that has possessed me.

  5. لاجللك جميع ظروف وقتي تحديت

    حتى الفراق الّي بضرسه علكني

    For your sake, I defied every hardship of my days,

    Even separation, which chewed me with its molar.

  6. لا ماتخلّى الحب ولا تخلّيت

    كل مابغيت اعود يمّك مسكني

    No, love did not let go, nor did I.

    Whenever I wanted to return to you, it held me back.
