1. ما بالُ عَينكَ دانَت

    لَها العُيونُ المِراضُ

    Why have your eyes become sickly

    Though eyes are meant for pleasure

  2. للسُّقمِ والسِّحرِ فيها

    وللفُتورِ اعتِراضُ

    In them is sickness, magic, and fatigue

    As well as painful denial

  3. إن أنكَرَت ما أُلاقي

    فَأمرُها مُستَفاضُ

    Even if they deny what I suffer

    Their condition speaks clearly enough
