1. And Shauqi was awoken after I had been asleep
By the warbling of the dawn, yearning and humming

2. An innocent necklace that came without evil
For money and was not mortgaged for a few dirhams

3. I die from her weeping, miserable that my agony
And ecstasy found in my joy pitiful lyrics

4. She wept her agony under the darkness so the
Trickling tears converged onto her every temple

5. Had I met her weeping I would’ve cried youthfully
In my joy healed my soul before regret

6. But she cried before me so her weeping roused
My weeping, so I said virtue is for the regretful
