1. I weaned my affection, then came reproaching
Gently, after this submission!

2. My soul has words that expose their reproach
Exposing during the detailed cloak

3. So revive a love that was well, like a drawing
When loyalty's splendor falls among the immersion and the wrapping

4. The winds of excuse free you from their markings
From what she wove of south and north

5. Then you undermined from me the affection and it collapsed
So strange is the one who carries it

6. And it slept upon the crying one, and his eyelids did not know
His home, and he was not sprinkled with water and washed

7. I sacrifice for you my pillow in the darkness out of an affection
That attends the morning, does not cease to detail

8. My beloved, do not tread the injustice and estrangement
With a clever belly, with a hardy disposition

9. And do not forget from me a companionship that cracks open the darkness
With a morning, and the morning is not its equal

10. Your companionship, I do not twist upon a companion a gift
Of good lineage in the clan, appointed

11. And I hid even from an infatuation - where is my passion?
So I preoccupied it from the one with shifting talismans

12. And a coquette I turned away from, though she impressed
Upon me the digestion of thick blood, flowing hair

13. And I attempted to lessen and bring near your affection, which avoided
So I brought down from it the refuge, from every abode

14. Turning my fervor with it the whip of a driver
And the slackening of one who lets the camels roam and draws near

15. So how much service I hastened, and how much affection
I enjoyed from play, not hastened

16. And how many lines from me and from you as if they are
Spinning virgins in an adorned wrap

17. And how much advice whose claim I denied when it led
Against me and turned an oath not to be undone

18. And coarse hair which my laughter mocked
Furnishings like the date palm's bending sprout

19. You see the places where the beautiful women stomp in their meadows
And their lowlands, as if it were grains of pepper

20. I removed my bliss, dragging from my youth
Behind it the trains of a striped cloak

21. And I said, "A friend who chants worry and his affection"
"Oh long night, oh unravel!"

22. And a cover, reproaching the inadequacy of requitals, refused
To don the garb except of the bountiful

23. Until his excuse appeared, mounted
And he clasped justification and bent with admonition

24. So I gentled him in both states, and did not say
"Take off my clothes from your clothes and change"

25. And he convinced me, from it I turned away, distracted
With a rend here for us not to go around

26. Justifying, "What use is it for the lad?
A pledge of his palms with a binding rope"

27. He envies lines as if to watch over them
Gazelles or lances of smooth wood

28. And he offends my hearing with the couplets of his composition
Like the bridal attire of a bride or the firmness of unripe dates

29. And he refuses my sitting from his positions to
An elder of people in open space, fully adorned

30. As if my tears in my clothes in his estrangement
Were henna extract in hoary Handle

31. And when we exchanged subtle reproach
Like the falling of rain with hail mixed in

32. We rebuilt the weak affection, so no covenant remained
Nor pillar except established with bricks

33. And we returned to an affection filling the heart, its restoration
With fat like the hump of a fat-tailed sheep

34. I restored in Saladin the covenant of affection
With every cave of disengagement it was tied with constraint

35. So my verbal reproach is not indecent
If it actively reproaches and is not ineffective

36. And the customs of love in you are more renowned than
A sandy hill from the memory of a lover and an abode
