1. رَأَيتُكَ لا تَختارُ إِلّا تَباعُدي

    فَباعَدتُ نَفسي لَاِتِّباعِ هَواكا

    I saw that you choose nothing but my staying away.

    So I distanced myself to follow your desire.

  2. فَبُعدُكَ يُؤذيني وَقُربي لَكُم أَذىً

    فلَكَيفَ اِحتِيالي يا جُعِلتُ فَداكا

    For your distance hurts me, and my nearness causes you pain.

    How, then, am I to manage—oh, may I be your ransom!
