1. دَلَّهُ دَلَّهُ عَلى إِذلالي

    وَنَهاهُ جَمالُهُ عَن وِصالي

    His coquetry led him to humiliate me,

    And his beauty kept him from union with me.

  2. فَنَعيمي بُؤسٌ وَأَيّامُ عَيشي

    في زَمانِ الصُدودِ مِثلُ اللَيالي

    So my bliss is misery, and the days of my life

    In the time of estrangement are like nights.
