إِذا ما عاذِلي سَمّا

كِ قُلتُ أَعِد كَذا أَعِدِ

When blamed by one I love

Whenever my censor speaks your name,

I say do it again, do it again

I say: "Repeat! Just so, repeat!"

وَشِب لي بِاِسمِها عَذَلي

وَزِدني ثُمَّ زِد وَزِدِ

In her name, increase my blame

Mix into my blame the mention of her,

Then give me more, and more again

And give me more, then more, and more!

نَهاري كُلَّهُ وَغَداً

وَبَعدَ غَدٍ وَبَعدَ غَدِ

All day and tomorrow too

Throughout my day, and tomorrow too,

And the day after that, and more days to ensue

And the day after, and the day after that.
