1. يا ناعسَ الطرفِ كم أشكو وتظلمني

    رحماكَ يا ناعسَ العينينِ رحماكا

    O languid-eyed one, how long must I lament while you wrong me?

    Have mercy on me, O languid-eyed one—have mercy!

  2. لو أن غيرَ فؤادي يشتكيكَ معي

    لضجتِ الناسُ والدنيا بشكواكا

    If anyone other than my heart joined me in complaining of you,

    The people and the whole world would clamor with complaints against you.
