يا موز بالقطر
يا مشكاح مَن حلاّك
O banana steeped in syrup,
O broad-smiling one—who sweetened you?
ومَن على الغصن في
العرجون قد علاّك
And who, upon the bough amid
the curved cluster-stalk, has surpassed you?
مالي تخلّيت عن
قلبي وما خلاّك
Why have you abandoned
my heart, though it never abandoned you?
أنت بتحكم لروحك
قل لي مَن ولاّك
You wield authority all on your own—
tell me, who put you in charge?
