بِاللَهِ يا ظَبيَ بَني الحارِثِ

هَل مَن وَفى بِالعَهدِ كَالناكِثِ

By Allah, O gazelle of Bani al-Harith

Is there anyone who fulfills a promise like the violator?

لا تَخدَعَنّي بِالمُنى باطِلاً

وَأَنتَ بي تَلعَبُ كَالعابِثِ

Do not deceive me with false hopes

While you play with me like a frivolous one

حَتى مَتى أَنتَ لَنا هَكَذا

نَفسي فِداءٌ لَكَ يا حارِثي

How long will you be like this with us?

My soul is a ransom for you, O Harithi

يا مُنتَهى هَمّي وَيا مُنيَتي

وَيا هَوى نَفسي وَيا وارِثي

O goal of my worries and O my demise

O love of my soul and O my heir
