1. O master of messengers
Whose past life was full of sorrows

2. My days were certainly
Wasted in idleness and estrangement

3. How much yearning is in my heart
For the beloved girls of Naqa and Thahmad

4. I haven't touched them for years
Except in dreams that knows no end

5. I ask the publishers
About them, hoping they will recount a supported narrative

6. Are they remembering us
Or have they forgotten the ancient, confirmed covenant
