1. I have in the valleys of the two live coals a gazelle
Who assaulted me for whose sake tribulations attacked me

2. And I was ruined when the fire kindled in my ribs
And the teardrops flowed copiously from my eyes

3. And the distance tore my inner parts with its arrows
Oh, how many arrows loosened from distance pierce

4. And harder than this and heavier in weight
A heart in which hopes play

5. Claiming the meeting and going observing its time
While for it and mixing with claims absurdities

6. Oh gazelles of the valley of the two live coals while you
Are covered in the splendor of beauty and glory

7. Be gentle with the scorched heart its inclination
Has made it sit from the heavy wishes

8. You have shaken it with intense passion for you from
Its parts diverse states and conditions

9. So whenever you are remembered it is as if the earth of his heart
Quivers all of it with yearning like an earthquake

10. The young ones cry for your face enamored
And for its people the abandoned ruins lament

11. And perhaps lightning in Ghuwayr aroused me
For the feverish and for every state is a state

12. Yearning insists and sigh never extinguished
And smoldering which has hit the proverbs

13. There did not remain for me a limb and mixed with it
Is for you arrows that pierce from it

14. You have tried me and your opinion has conquered me
He who is misguided by his opinion errs

15. Take what appears to you of your delusions and judge
Or are not these occurrences mere shadows
