عَصَّبَت رَأسَها فَلَيتَ صُداعاً

قَد شَكَتهُ إِليَّ كانَ بِراسي

She tied her headscarf, if only it were a headache

That she had complained to me of, it would have been bearable

ثُمَّ لا تَشتَكي وَكانَ لَها الأَج

رُ وَكُنتُ السِقامَ عَنها أُقاسي

Then do not complain, though she deserves reward

While I was suffering illness from her

ذاكَ حَتّى يَقولَ لي مَن رَآني

هَكَذا يَفعَلُ المُحِبُّ المُواسي

Until someone who saw me would say

Thus does the loving comforter act
