من علَّمك يا رشا هجري

وَقالَ لَك لا تصل صبَّك

Who taught you, O Rasha, to abandon me

And told you not to answer your lover's call

تَرمي فؤادي ولا تدري

بعذابي لا واخَذَك ربّك

You throw arrows at my heart, yet unaware

Of my torment - may your Lord take you to task

يرضيك أَن أَدمعي تجري

وأَنتَ مشغول في لعبك

Does it please you to see my tears flow

While you are busy at play?

مهلاً فقد خانَني صبري

حسبك من الهجر حسبَك

Wait, for my patience has betrayed me

Enough estrangement, enough!
