1. He took refuge in the youth of Najd to protect his heart
For his tears with their salt have confused him

2. And since the breeze of youth has pulled him to passion
His reason has almost flown away with his mind

3. And beware of that breeze, for it
Is guaranteed to ignite hidden passion and rob it

4. A breeze that shakes the soul with its gusts
If it blows, passion becomes easier to obtain

5. My friend if you fall in love you will know
How difficult and agonizing love can be

6. And you will have an excuse for it and know
The place of passion in the love-sick heart

7. Remember the memories that yearn, and the passionate one
Yearns even if he doesn't know his way

8. A fluttering heart when it harbors its love
Yearns, and whoever passion clings to it floods him

9. Passion despite the despair of passion and its hope
And an "Oh!" over the sickness of infatuation and its remedy

10. And yearning for the light of wishes and their darkness
And longing for the closeness of the beloved and his distance

11. And in the traveling group, writhing with pain
Suffering over the reconciliation of the beloved or his dispute

12. His fires toss him while he is lovesick
When will the caller of passion answer his call?

13. If a breeze blew from the direction of the east
It would stir the violins of passion in his heart

14. And it would drop him into passion and with its kindness
Heal him of his sickness and company during his recovery

15. And hidden among the women, turning away
So that the lovesick patient will be pleased with his blame

16. For in the soul, from his pains without blame
And in the heart, from his avoidance like his veil

17. I envy when she socializes, fearing
Her guide will return her to her troop

18. And I fear if a lover's tear is seen
Be cautious in case it is for his love
