1. ما ضَرَّهُ لَو وَفي بِما وَعَدا

    أَلَيسَ وَجدي بِهِ كَما عَهِدا

    What harm would it do him if he kept what he promised?

    Is not my passion for him as he knew it?

  2. في كُلِّ يَومٍ يَزيدُني أَمَلاً

    وَالجِسمُ يَبلى بِخُلفِهِ كَمَدا

    Every day he gives me more hope,

    And the body wastes away in grief at his broken promises.

  3. كَم حاسِدٍ لي يَراهُ طَوعَ يَدي

    فَحَقَّقَ اللَهُ ظَنَّ مَن حَسَدا

    How many who envy me see him at my hand's command!

    So may God make true the belief of whoever envies me.
