1. غضبتَ بلا سببٍ يُعرَف

    وجُرتَ عليَّ فما تُنصِف

    You got angry for no reason that's known

    And you were unfair to me, how unjust you've shown

  2. وبي من هواكَ الذي بعضُهُ

    ينوءُ به الموجَعُ المدنَف

    And I have within me a passion for you

    That makes my aching heart softly croon

  3. وشوقٌ تحرقَ منهُ الحشا

    إليكَ وعيني له تذرِفُ

    A yearning that sets the desert bushes ablaze

    My eyes rain tears for you, my beloved, my muse

  4. صبرتُ على مرِّ مكروههِ

    ومثليَ عن مثله يضعُفُ

    I've been patient through bitterness and strife

    Unlike me, others would simply refuse
