1. Intoxicated he fulfilled, so his soul got drunk
While sober he surpasses those inebriated

2. Had we heard him sing, it would have been love
Of nectar or breaths from virgins

3. Shaden loves the dark horses
If he appears, he sets the heart aflame

4. He sings poetry, my poetry ardent
So darkness becomes daylight to me

5. A wealth of emotions and passions
Had the Jews seen it, they'd stay up all night

6. The genius of beauty, cheek and lips
And forehead, charm and coyness

7. I almost forgot my love when I loved him
The wine of beauty makes one forget remedies

8. Careful that his youth's revelation
Becomes the revelation of a spirit that consults fate

9. I said in it poem, art and magic
With poetry, I enchant the moons

10. O gazelle fulfill and perfume my home
And pass the cups then pass them around

11. You are who you are, ah you are beauty
Of beauty in its prime that has no match

12. If you alone are most beautiful of people
Then I am the poet who has no match

13. Embers of life in my heart's fire
I made my eyelashes' tear rivers

14. I know not when the meeting will be
After a day in which I reaped the fruits

15. My heart yearns, yearns
While you do not hear

16. O pretentious one
Tell me when will you return

17. I refused to complain to fate for what it did
For I noticed from a gazelle that almost deafened me

18. The telephone ringing if the beloved called
In the tranquility of night, it excites me, satisfying me

19. If Layla was long
Long was Layla, long

20. O questioner, how are things?
You, you are how things are

21. I squeeze my soul and then I squeeze it
So I can fly to the skies of Helwan

22. A day has passed and my soul's conscience makes me imagine
That we will have two days for love

23. The sweetness in its bitterness through poetry I dazzled it
So it transgressed while it was sweet in bitterness

24. Do not expect, O king who art is devoted to him
When will I bridle my satanic side on the day of betrayal?

25. Those who with love's revelation submitted
With the beauty's revelation violated my prohibitions

26. I almost exposed them while love has mercy on them
I have mercy on my beloved ones by keeping silent

27. They said their enemies are their love, I said no wonder
For the enemy, some of my traits are in her
