1. The truth is I am leaving
And God knows what I have faced

2. I think after this I will not recall
What was of ease and what was of trial

3. I did not grow accustomed like others
My sorrow is the blackness I have adorned with separation

4. Wondrous is her veiled neck at dawn
And her shawl of glittering stars

5. How many virtuous ones has time ruined
While they were safe from morals being broken

6. Your world is fickle, and if it allures a man
With morals, it is wretched in its ethics

7. It rains pleasures from its clouds
A lightning that dazzles with flickering light

8. It did not meet its rain, but its barrenness
Was armies adorned with high rank

9. And if hopes opened a life of comfort
It shut it off with powerful closure

10. And if you accepted a companion from its people
You were afflicted with a lying deceiver

11. Stars fate moves along under which
A creation you witness without creation

12. What is mine and the company I knew
With wine of joy and intimate talk?

13. A gathering arguing is like the drinking of sweet wine
They drank with disdain in a cup of pure wine

14. The soul is a caged bird
Until it is graced with release

15. Mahmoud will die and his lineage will perish
But the face of the One Creator will last

16. O welcome death for one who awaits
If after there is acquaintance and reunion

17. Our hours underneath the souls are veiled
And they have distanced with the unattainable

18. Cast off life stripped to death
Life is laden with burdens

19. You continued to wear the garb of one who left
Until you were cast with divorce papers
