1. The beauty of Selma's smile illuminated the night of knowledge
The dawn breathed in a darkness made of shadows

2. And her eyelids conversed with me cautiously
I have no control over them or their glance and mouth

3. There is no ignorance in Islam that we know
And the eye is busy worshipping from it an idol

4. And she mocked my grey hair while she laughs
The laughter of youth, though the era knows no antiquity

5. The fire of worries dyes the hair its color
This ash is the remnants of that coal

6. Whoever accompanies time will find its color changed
And so do days treat hopes

7. While grey hair is the ornament of maturity, if you were wise
An eyelash without grey hair is a dress without knowledge

8. How much passion I swallow without a consoler
With the youth or Selma of peace

9. Take what I have confessed about our days in both of them
For I have no secret to someone accusatory

10. My eyes never saw her, though my phantom bears witness
In the isolation of bliss or in the state of the dream

11. And I complain of nothing but the chain of her saliva
For the fire of love is in its water a disgrace

12. And there was crisis in love, the imagination brought it
And so was destitution in it the brother of nonexistence

13. A guest came in pain and shed tears in his love
And the love of a guest is the sacrifice of sheep and cattle

14. Seeking two suns from a face and ablution for deprivation
Through two dawns from a cup and smile

15. The high places screened her, so she is a thief
Of the meanings of the compatible and digestible carpet

16. How much a flock's pasture, but I never felt safe or panicked
And a long night, but she never stayed up while I did not sleep

17. What remains is the memory of her coolness that I never trod
And a long night, so what does she stay up for when I did not sleep

18. Blaming in the high and low places, I told him
If you tasted the flavor of love and glory, you would not blame

19. My morning drink is no drink that hopes for berries
As if it were the intoxication of wine with generosity
