1. يا قَوم لا تَأخُذوا بِثَأري

    فَقاتِلي جَنَّتي وَناري

    O people, do not avenge me:

    For my slayer is my paradise and my fire.

  2. ظَبيٌ لَهُ سالِفٌ وَخَدٌّ

    كَخُرَّمٍ فَوقَ جُلَّنارِ

    A gazelle whose temple and cheek

    Are like khurram blossoms above pomegranate flowers.

  3. يَبيك فَيَصفَرُّ مِن عِتابي

    فَيَنثُرُ الطَلَّ في البَهارِ

    He weeps, then turns yellow at my reproach,

    Then scatters dew among the yellow bahār flowers.
