1. I am Al-Walid the imam, boasting
I enjoy my health and pursue love

2. I adore Sulayma though she disdains me
It's not right that one connected should spurn

3. A doe, so graceful, giving light
The lovers walk when she steps forth

4. I only go where she holds her gatherings
And care not what the blamers say

5. Life is but to hear a singer
And coffee that leaves the lad sated

6. I hope not for houris in eternity, nay
Can one who reasons hope for houris?

7. If she loves you, be generous when united
Like one who attained the wish he sought
