جَفاني حَبيبي فَالغَرامُ بِهِ نَما

وَجمرُ الهَوى بَينَ الضّلوعِ تأجّجا

My beloved abandoned me, yet love for him grew

And the embers of passion burned in my heart anew

بَكَت مُقلَتي كَبدي وَبعضَ مَرارتي

أَلَست تَرى دَمعي بِخدِّي بَنَفسجا

My eyelids wept, my liver ached, some bitterness too

Can't you see, my tears on my cheek are violet blue
