1. Oh! Look now, in God's name, my promise settlement
And do not neglect to make our faith a cash payment

2. Is it not time to heal the one you have abandoned
Who suffers all night long from your love's hardship

3. It's as if you don't know the passion that's within me
I've become dry bones, wrapped up tightly in skin

4. If you don't know what love is, then look at me
For love has made me a slave, obedient indeed

5. So sympathize with the depths of my longing and desire
I fear I'll remain a wreck, completely destroyed

6. When I say love has become clear and radiant
The heart is sad, intensifying, fortified

7. My heart keeps dragging me back to all of you
And opens up a door of love I thought was sealed

8. If my heart obeyed me, I would stop loving you
But it disobeys me, so with you it suffers indeed

9. I used to love your hostility, if only I could handle it
But my heart could find no alternative to you

10. My heart insisted, swore by my heart, on nothing
But infatuation towards her, and everlasting love

11. Please grant me respite, may I be sacrificed for you
Bestow kindness upon me, for that you'll have thanks

12. You have killed a lovesick young man, madly in love
One as beautiful as you kills both old and young

13. If given a choice between you and immortality
My heart would choose you, forsaking immortality

14. By God, if I listed all the love I have
I'd be confused, but cannot quantify that love

15. Perhaps, O Zulfa, if we are apart for so long
You'll forget the covenants and vows we made

16. Don't you remember our vow in Ra'bal's house
As we warded off estrangement from our union

17. You promised Wednesday then betrayed us all
Leaving us with loss after once being together

18. And he in Mayya's house woke up watching
While I woke up lovelorn, quite lonely indeed

19. If days return later and bring us back together
May Wednesday never return, nor promises again
