كذبتم بدعواكم وجرتم بظلمكم

كذبتم بدعواكم وجرتم بظلمكم

ولم ترحموا صبا قضى فيكموا شجوى

ولم ترحموا صبا قضى فيكموا شجوى

You lied in your claim and dealt unjustly through your oppression;

You lied with your claims and oppressed with your injustice,

And you showed no mercy to a lovesick lover who perished in sorrow for you.

And did not spare a youth who spent his prime pining for you.

عسى عطفة بالوصل يا من أحبه

عسى عطفة بالوصل يا من أحبه

فلست على هجرانكم والهوى أقوى

فلست على هجرانكم والهوى أقوى

I hope for the kindness of reunion, O you whom I love,

Maybe a moment of affection, O you whom I loved,

For I cannot endure your abandonment and passion.

For I cannot endure your abandonment, though passion remains strong.
