1. When I visit Abdallah, I ransom him with my soul,
I return with grace from his benevolence and gifts.

2. And if I am absent from him, he keeps our love intact,
He does not neglect me while I am away.

3. Abdullah's slave came to my rescue when
My enemies revealed their malice and were ready to fight.

4. He saved me from the flood of death after I had seen
The valleys of death brimming with adversaries.

5. He loved me when I came to him with gifts
And a beautiful slave girl with tinkling anklets.
