1. My remedy for pains lies in her dewy lips,
Their radiance revived me, else no life have I.

2. How could the dawn not shed its radiance,
If I found no water to quench my thirst?

3. A girl who works her magic with a glance,
And turns away as she wishes in her aloofness.

4. If she would unite with me, the world would unite,
Why did she not grant safety from her sword-like eyelashes,

5. When Yahya granted safety from his sword?
Tamim's son protected the religion of guidance,

6. And the reins of kingship came into his noble hand.
If our hopes wither, his gifts

7. Are gardens that lacked no watering for ants.
