1. وَإِذا عَصاني الدَمعُ في

    إِحدى مُلِمّاتِ الخُطوبِ

    And when tears disobey me amid

    one of adversity's afflictions,

  2. أَجرَيتُهُ بِتَذَكُّري

    ما كانَ مِن هَجرِ الحَبيبِ

    I make them flow by recalling

    the beloved's past abandonment.

  3. يا مَن لِمَهجورٍ قَري

    حِ القَلبِ مَظلومٍ كَئيبِ

    O who will help a forsaken one, wounded

    at heart, wronged and sorrowful?

  4. أَخَذَ الهَوى مِن جِسمِهِ

    وَفُؤادِهِ أَوفى نَصيبِ

    Passion has taken from his body

    and his heart the fullest share.
