1. I see the house of Lubna has been abandoned today
How strange is Lubna's abandonment, yet it brings you good

2. Do you cry over Lubna when you were the one who left her?
And you had power over her with wealth, you had more

3. If the world had turned for Lubna, then for me are bellies and backs
Indeed in it there was a place for honesty,

4. And for the heart a refuge, and for the eye a scene
And for the thirsty wanderer a draft with its saliva

5. And for the swaggering drunkard, wine and intoxicants
It was as if she were a swing for me between ropes

6. Whenever a memory of her flickers across my heart
