1. I roamed the abodes of Hayy with two swords
Like the full moon, with two keen eyes

2. Dwellings of fair-cheeked ones, as though they were
Ewes of Mala being milked by the tribesmen

3. And I give money to those I do not love
And clothe groups who bear enmity

4. And an inquirer about me who would wish I
Had drunk poison and my spit had finished me

5. And one gentle, if he knew that
My healing was blood from his insides, he would heal me
