1. كَم قَد مَنَحتُكَ حُبّاً

    وَلَيسَ مِنهُ جَزاءُ

    How much love I have given you,

    yet no recompense comes of it!

  2. تَرى يَضُرُّكَ أَن لَو

    يَكونَ مِنكَ وَفاءُ

    Do you think it would harm you if

    you were to show faithfulness?

  3. لا تَبلِنا بِصُدودٍ

    إِنَّ الصُدودَ بَلاءُ

    Do not afflict us with rejection;

    rejection is indeed an affliction.

  4. بَل ما لَنا مِنكَ بُدُّ

    فَاِصنَع بِنا ما تَشاءُ

    Yet we cannot do without you,

    so do with us whatever you wish.
