1. مَنْ عَذِيْري مِنْ هازِئٍ بيَ هازِلْ

    قاطِعٍ لِي وللصُّدودِ مُواصِلْ

    Who will defend me against one who mocks me in jest,

    Who severs ties with me, yet keeps his bond with estrangement,

  2. سائِلٍ كَيْفَ حالَتِي وهو يَدْري

    أنَّ دَمعي مِن الصَّبابةِ سائِلْ

    Who asks how I am, though he knows

    That my tears flow from ardent love?

  3. ليسَ شيءٌ أنْكى لِفَرْحَةِ قَلْبي

    مِنْهُ يُصْمِي الفؤادَ ثُمَّ يسائِلْ

    Nothing is more wounding to my heart's joy

    Than he, who strikes the heart dead, then inquires.
