1. لِدَولَةِ التُركِ أَشكو

    هَولَ الهَوى وَاِنهِيالَه

    To the state of the Turks I complain

    of love's terror and its onrush,

  2. وَما يُعانيهِ قَلبي

    مِن جَورِ تِلكَ الغَزالَه

    and what my heart suffers

    from the cruelty of that gazelle.

  3. وَغايَةَ الأَمرِ أَنّي

    مَلَلَتُ كُلَّ المَلالَه

    And the upshot is that I

    have grown utterly weary.

  4. وَقَد أَتَيتُ إِلَيهِم

    أُريدُ مِنهُم عَدالَه

    And indeed I have come to them:

    I seek justice from them.
