1. يا جاهلاً قدر المحبة ساءني

    ما ضاع من كلفي ومن تبريحي

    O you ignorant of love’s worth, I am grieved

    By the passion and torment that have gone to waste.

  2. سيان عندك مغرم بك هائم

    وخلي قلبٍ فيك غير قريح

    To you, a lover enamored of you and lost in love is no different

    From one carefree of heart, unwounded by you.

  3. لو كنت أعلم أن طبعك هكذا

    لم أعص يوم نصحت فيك نصيحي

    Had I known your nature was like this,

    I would not have disobeyed my adviser the day I was counseled about you.

  4. ما كان في عزمي السلو وإنما

    ألزمتنيه بكثرة التقبيح

    Forgetting you was not my intention; rather,

    You forced it upon me through your frequent disparagement.
