1. يا مَن يُمازِحُني في الهَزل بِالغَضَبِ

    فَرِّق فَدَيتُكَ بَينَ الجِدِّ وَاللَّعِبِ

    O you who tease me in jest with anger,

    Distinguish, may I be your ransom, between seriousness and play.

  2. إِذا اِصطَلَحنا مُنِحنا بِالصُّدودِ فَما

    تَنفَكُّ مِن غَضَب يُفضي إِلى غَضَبِ

    Whenever we reconcile, we are rewarded with rejection, and you never

    Break free of anger that leads to further anger.
