1. With your spirit, O Suleima, what is there for my heart
It flutters in every moment

2. Especially when a north wind blows
Or lightning flashes from it

3. Your love has tied me with a bond
I rejoiced while my eyelids' tears flowed

4. I rose with the burden of your love, O Suleima
Even if you load me with more than I can bear

5. And your passion posseses me, and every free person
Is gentle to whom he loves, O Salma

6. And I see, to my wonder, that I am drowning
In tears from it, with a blaze in my heart

7. And I did not split the gathering of tears
Except the morning after the separation when the caravan stabbed

8. I shed the blood of the eyes the morning they travelled
With their mounts, and what blood can I shed

9. Is there an apparition that gathers us, wandering,
So the graceful phantom wanders among us

10. Did the wildlife descend to the marsh at night
With it, and the thickets of the elegant garden

11. Did the brambles laugh at their female guardian
And the anemone dyed its cheek among them

12. For we have passed nights of pleasure therein
Drinking wine, so we do not awaken
