ما كنت أَظنهم لعهدي نبذوا

قوم تركوني ولقلبي أخذوا

I did not expect they would break their pact with me

A people who left me, yet took my heart away

قلبي بزمامه إليهم جبذوا

فتّوا كبدي فهي عليهم فلذ

They pulled my heart by its reins towards them

They melted my liver, so it's their darling child
