1. يا جَوادَ اللِسانِ مِن غَيرِ فِعلٍ

    لَيتَ في راحَتَيكَ جودَ اللِسانِ

    O you, generous with your tongue but not in deed!

    If only your two palms had the generosity of your tongue!

  2. عَينَ مِهرانَ قَد لَطَمتَ مِراراً

    فَاِتَّقِ ذا الجَلالِ في مِهرانِ

    You have slapped Mihran's eye time and again.

    So fear the Lord of Majesty in your treatment of Mihran.

  3. عُرتَ عَيناً فَدَع لِمَهرانَ عَيناً

    لا تَدَعهُ يَطوفُ في العُميانِ

    You have put out one eye; leave Mihran an eye.

    Do not let him wander among the blind.
