1. I complained of the tears flowing down my cheeks
And of my gloomy, woeful state

2. I said to him, while the earth in my eyes
Was narrower than the palm of a rope maker

3. I swear by God, I suffer because of a slave girl
In whose eyes there is an angel from Babylon

4. Or it is the sword of Al-Ma'mun bin Al-Ma'mun
The brave, just king

5. So if a blamer blames me one day for loving
Then the blamer is not just
