1. يا تاجر المرّ قطّر منه واسقيني

    وانسى دوا الصبر لا الصبر كاويني

    O merchant of bitterness, distill some of it and give it to me to drink.

    And forget patience as a remedy, for patience is searing me.

  2. أنا بعت عمري وكان الذي شاريني

    وادى ختام قصتي دم ودموع وجراح

    I sold my life, and he was the one who bought me.

    And here is the end of my story: blood, tears, and wounds.

  3. ومسير رياح العدم يا عين تطفيني

    And eventually the winds of nothingness, O eye, will extinguish me.
