اِرحَميني فَقَد بَليتُ فَحَسبي

بَعضُ ذا الداءِ يا بُثَينَةُ حَسبي

Have mercy on me, for I am worn out and that is enough

Some of this sickness, O Buthaina, is enough for me

لامَني فيكِ يا بُثَينَةُ صَحبي

لا تَلوموا قَد أَقرَحَ الحُبُّ قَلبي

Do not blame me in yourself, O Buthaina, my companion

Do not blame, for love has ulcerated my heart

زَعَمَ الناسُ أَنَّ دائي طِبّي

أَنتِ وَاللَهِ يا بُثَينَةُ طِبّي

People claim my illness is medical

You, by God, O Buthaina, are my remedy
