إِنَّ الغُلامَ الَّذي أَعطاكِ خاتَمَهُ

في سَطحِ أَزهَرَ قَد أَبلاهُ ذِكراكِ

The boy who gave you his ring

On the roof of blooming flowers has made it a memento of you

مازالَ بَعدَكِ مُذ فارَقتِهِ دَنِفاً

يُمسي وَيُصبِحُ صَبّاً لَيسَ يَنساكِ

Since you left him, he still sheds tears

Waking and sleeping, crying for you ceaselessly

أَمسى لِأَهلِكِ جاراً ما عَلِمتِ بِهِ

لَو تَطلُبينَ إِلَيهِ النَفسَ أَعطاكِ

He has become a neighbor to your family without your knowing

If you asked him for his soul, he would give it to you

هَل تَعرِفينَ العَلاماتِ الَّتي وُصِفَت

إِيّاكِ أَعني بِما عَرَّضتُ إِيّاكِ

Do you recognize the signs I have described

I mean you, with what I have presented to you
