1. يا مَن عَلى كُل سامٍ في البَها أَو راق

    مَلسوع هَجرك عَليل ما لو طبيب أَو راق

    O you who surpass in beauty every lofty or exalted one.

    The one stung by your desertion lies ill, with neither physician nor healer using incantations.

  2. عذارك اللي بَدا كَالسَطر في أَوراق

    طَلسَم عَلى كنز دُرّ المَبسم الحالي

    The down on your cheek, which appeared like a line on pages,

    Is a talisman over the pearl-treasure of your sweet smiling mouth.

  3. دا اللي صَفا وِردُهُ العَذبُ الشَهي أَو راق

    This is the one whose sweet, delicious draught has grown pure or clear.
