1. مَن لِعَينٍ تُذري مِنَ الدَمعِ غَربا

    مُعمَلٍ جَفنُها اِختِلاجاً وَضَربا

    Who will tend an eye that sheds torrents of tears,

    Its eyelid set twitching and fluttering,

  2. مُعمَلٍ جَفنُها لِذِكرَةِ إِلفٍ

    زادَهُ الشَوقُ وَالصَبابَةُ كَربا

    Its eyelid stirred by remembrance of a beloved

    Whose anguish longing and ardent love have deepened?

  3. لَو شَرَحتِ الغَداةَ يا هِندُ صَدري

    لَم تَجِد لي يَداكِ يا هِندُ قَلبا

    Were you to lay open my breast this morning, Hind,

    Your hands would find no heart in me, Hind.

  4. فَاِعذِريني إِن كُنتُ صاحِبَ عُذرٍ

    وَاِغفِري لي إِن كُنتُ أَذنَبتُ ذَنبا

    So excuse me if I have an excuse,

    And forgive me if I have committed a sin.

  5. لَو تَحَرَّجتِ أَو تَجَرَّمتِ مِنّي

    ما تَباعَدتِ كُلَّما اِزدَدتُ قُربا

    Had you felt scruples, or found fault with me,

    You would not have drawn away whenever I drew nearer.

  6. فَصِلي مُغرَماً بِحُبَّكِ قَد كا

    نَ عَلى ما أَولَيتِهِ بِكِ صَبّا

    So grant your love to one consumed by love of you, who has

    Been passionately yours, despite how you have treated him.
