Claude 2

  1. لَولا تَجَنّي مَن قَد هَجَرني

    ما كُنتُ أَعني إِلى قَضاءِ

    Had not he who deserted me come back to me

    I would not have bothered with destiny

  2. أَسمَر بِشامَه لَهُ عَلامَه

    مُذ حَلَّ رامَه ضاعِف بَلائي

    Dark-complexioned, with a mole,

    since he pitched his tent, my afflictions have doubled

  3. الخَدُّ ُتركي وَالخالُ مِسكي

    وَالوَجهُ يَحكي مَوتي بِدائي

    His cheek is Turkish, his mole Musky,

    his face tells of my death from my sickness

  4. قَد رامَ صَدّي وَاِختارَ بُعدي

    فَالرَأيُ عِندي مَوتي بِدائي

    He wanted my friendship and chose my distance

    so my opinion is that I will die from my sickness

  5. قَد زادَ حُزني مُذ غِبتَ عَنّي

    بِاللَهِ صِلني وَاِرحَم بُكائي

    My sorrow has increased since you've been absent from me

    for God's sake, pray for me and have mercy on my crying

  6. لَو أَنصَفوني ما فارَقوني

    ما خَلَّفوني حِلفَ الضَناءِ

    Had they been fair to me they would not have left me

    They would not have abandoned me to the oppression of estrangement

  7. أَي قَلبُ ما لك نَشكو خَبالَك

    لا اِرتاحَ بالَك خالفَتَ راءي

    Oh heart, what is with you? We complain of your whims

    Your mind is not at peace, you have opposed my opinion
