1. ألا رُبَّ أحبابٍ شغلت بحبّهم

    زمان إلى أن غيَّروا بيننا الصّفه

    Ah, many were the loved ones I was absorbed in loving

    For a time, until they changed the nature of our bond.

  2. فسليت قلبي من يديهم وعنهمو

    ونشَّفت دمعي من هواهم بمنشفة

    So I drew my heart out of their hands and away from them,

    And dried the tears of my love for them with a towel.
