1. Ask if a lover has cried for you,
His tears flowing as he yearns.

2. Do not turn from speaking of your love,
For nothing else makes his heart obey.

3. Your land drew him from his home,
A breeze over Najd, softly blowing.

4. The passionate south wind sent no coward
To him, though longing filled him with sadness.

5. If you wish to know the pain of love,
My heart is open to you, its valleys and hills.

6. Each heart in love with you
Is like each eye pouring its tears.

7. People of virtue, can I reach your sweet company,
When my longing leaves me dejected?

8. Whenever a lover asked about you,
The next day crowds came, craving you.

9. His soul calls to you though he has not seen
Any but you able to bear his passion.

10. By your virtue no eye or day
Passes without you as its spring.
