1. إن كان غَرَّكَ منّي

    صبري عليكَ وذُلّي

    If what has deceived you about me

    is my patience with you and my abasement,

  2. فو الذي أَنا مِنه

    حقّاً بأَعلى المَحَلّ

    then, by the one with whom I stand

    truly in the highest station,

  3. لأَزجرنّ فؤادي

    عنكْم بِبعضي وكُلّى

    I shall surely drive my heart

    away from you, with part of me and all of me,

  4. وأَتركَنَّك فَرْداً

    تبكي على فقدِ خِلّ

    and I shall surely leave you alone,

    weeping over the loss of a close friend.
