1. أيها المسرفون في النيل منا

    بين صد يدمى الفؤاد وضنِّ

    O you who go too far in hurting us,

    Between rejection that makes the heart bleed and withholding,

  2. لا تدلوا بحسنكم قد سلونا

    وأمنّا من هجركم والتجنّى

    Do not presume upon your beauty; we have moved on,

    And are safe from your abandonment and unjust reproach.
