1. طالَ صَبْرِي فَمَتى إسْعادُها

    أَنْحَلَتْ جِسْمي بوَعْدٍ بعْدَ وَعْدِ

    Long has my patience lasted; when will she bring me joy?

    She has wasted my body away with promise after promise.

  2. قِفْ على الوادِي ونادِي جَهْرَةً

    يا لَقَوْمِي اِرْحَلُوا قَدْ كَلَّ جهدي

    Stand by the valley and call out aloud:

    O my people, depart! My strength is spent.
