ومبلبَلُ الأصداغِ بل

بَلَ بالملاحةِ شملَ عقلي

My thoughts are troubled, my mind confused,

Bewildered by her charming beauty.

سدّت علي وجهي محا

سنُ وجههِ طرقَ التَخلّي

When she looked at me, my face turned red,

Her smile lit up this lonely heart.

لمّا رآني في يدي

هِ وصدَّ يريدُ قَتلي

Once in my hands, desire took hold,

Wanting her love to have and to hold.

قد كنتُ أنسبُ ما أتا

ه إلى التصنّعِ والتحلي

But now indifference has taken its toll,

So from her arms my feet slowly stroll.

والآن بانَ ملالُه

فرجعتُ عنه أجرّ رجلي
