1. Alas, Salma, if you could see me
Cursed be she who weakened my resolve

2. Indulging in idle play though I have no wealth
Enamored with the maidens of the tribe

3. Only Salma's words have saddened my heart
When she came and reproached me

4. Though once I lived freely and gaily
With no ties to bind me

5. Salma's love has captured my heart and restrained me
And how often has an advisor

6. Blamed Sulayma and forbidden me
