أصبحت سلمى ملولاً

تحسبُ القلبَ جمادا

Salma has become indifferent

She thinks the heart is lifeless

تزدري الحبَّ وتُبدي

السُخطَ بغياً وعنادا

She scorns love and shows

Anger and stubbornness

وتريكَ الصدَّ الوا

ناً ولا تخشى المعادا

And you see her turning away

Fearlessly and unbothered

ذهبَ العهدُ هباءً

وغدا الوصلُ جهادا

The promise has vanished

And closeness has become a struggle

ليتَ هذا الصبّ يقضي

علّها تقضي مرادا

If only this passion would end

So she may fulfill her wish

كان يرضيها دنوٌّ

اصبحت تهوى البعادا

Being near her once pleased her

Now she desires distance

اكذا كلُّ الغواني

ليس يرعين الودادا

Thus are all beautiful women

Loyalty they do not uphold

ماتَ في قلبكِ حبي

ولذا أُكسى السوادا

My love in your heart has died

And so I am clothed in black
