1. مَن مُجيري مِن رُدَيني قَدّه

    زُجُّهُ شيءٌ يُسمّى بِالزَجَج

    Who will protect me from the pain of yearning

    The agony, like glass, pierces deep

  2. ها دَمي مِن وَخزَةٍ في خَدِّهِ

    ظاهِرٌ مِن غَيرِ تَبيينِ حُجَج

    See my blood trickle from the wound upon his cheek

    Though no clear cause is shown for this attack

  3. فَأعيذوا صَبَّهُ مِن صَدِّهِ

    قَبلَ طَيِّ في لِوىً أَو مُنعَرَج

    So give the lover shelter from rejection's sting

    Before he's led astray or takes some crooked path
