1. أَيا لَكِ نَظرَةً أَودَت بِقَلبي

    وَغادَرَ سَهمُها جِسمي جَريحا

    Ah, what a glance of yours brought ruin upon my heart!

    And its arrow left my body wounded.

  2. فَلَيتَ أَميرَتي جادَت بِأُخرى

    فَكانَت بَعضَ ما يَنكا القُروحا

    So, if only my princess would bestow another,

    so it would be among the things that reopen the wounds:

  3. فَإِمّا أَن يَكونَ بِها شِفائي

    وَإِمّا أَن أَموتَ فَأَستَريحا

    then either my healing would come through it,

    or I would die and so find rest.
