أَنا في يُمنى يَدَيها

وَهيَ في يُسرى يَدَيّه

I am in her right hand

And she is in my left hand

إِنَّ هَذا لَقَضاءٌ

غَيرُ عَدلٍ يا أُخَيَّه

This is indeed predestination

Unjust, my brother

لَيتَ مَن لامَ مُحِبّاً

في الهَوى لاقى مَنِيَّه

I wish whoever blames a lover

For passion, meets his demise

فَاِستِراحَ الناسُ مِنهُ

ميتَةً غَيرَ سَوِيَّه

And people find respite from him

A twisted death
