1. If I had known what was going to happen
I would have warned you in days when my heart was healthy,

2. But I thought I could handle firmness
Whenever I was thrown or tried, unwavering.

3. O brother jinn, convey my greetings as I
Am a human who frequents the jinn's land rarely.

4. O brother jinn, we do not know, if a friend does not stay
Preserving the purity of affection, how we can have it remain

5. Nor how with estrangement and a heart accustomed
To intimacy, one can be pleased by ignominy, however noble

6. It was you who tasked me to tread the paths of love
And the cheeks of the slender with both gathered garments.

7. It was you who cut up my heart cruelly
And grazed the wound of the heart, so it is sick

8. If only speech could speak to the body
My body would speak of the defamers’ talk glumly
