1. يا عَلوَ أَقيلي عَثَرات النادِم

    جودي وَصلي واجِدَ قَلبٍ عادِم

    O ʿAlw, pardon the remorseful one's missteps.

    Be generous, and embrace one lovesick at heart and bereft.

  2. ما زَوجُكِ بانياً بِكِ اليَومَ سِوى

    موهٍ لِقَواعِد اِصطِباري هادِم

    Your husband, consummating his marriage with you today, is nothing but

    One who weakens and demolishes the foundations of my endurance.
