1. يا مؤيسي بتجنيه وهجرته

    هل حرم الحب تسويفي وتعليلي

    O you whose cruelty and desertion drive me to despair,

    Has love forbidden putting me off and soothing me with hopes?

  2. يبدي لي اليأس تصريحا فتكذبه

    طماعتي وأرى الآمال تملي لي

    Despair reveals itself plainly to me, yet is belied

    By my eager longing; and I see hopes granting me respite.

  3. وقد رضيت قليلا منك تبذله

    فما احتيالي إذا استكثرت تقليلي

    And I have been content with a little you might bestow;

    So what recourse have I if you deem even my reduced request too much?
