1. I have been hurt by what is in me, though it was hidden
My secret has been exposed, though I did not suspect it

2. You have added more wounds upon my obvious wound
It was your duty to help me, yet you forgot me

3. The lover who makes me grieve in my sadness
Is not the lover who comforts me

4. My eyes cry in sorrow over their sister
So if you can, give me back my eyesight

5. My patience in love lies buried in its soil
While sorrow is alive over it, not buried

6. Weeping is guaranteed for one who is afflicted
Tomorrow my heart's consolation is not guaranteed

7. If you have been firm in facing days of trials
Since you were alone with my love, not saddened

8. One knows oneself only in times of hardship
Before hardships, one is in the realm of the hidden

9. I was amazed by Qays and his madness of love
Today, Qays and Layla are less than me

10. Were it not for accepting the decree of fate, I would have died of grief
Or lived among jinn or in the guise of a madman

11.
If only I had virtuous Taahirah to veil

12. My cheeks - for reason with her is not guaranteed
She does not dishonor her children, parents or

13. Men, when she contends with opponents
Trustworthy Ameenah who was chaste with God in private

14. Righteous in deed in life and in faith
She protected my honor before my eyes and in my presence

15. Since her nature said: O daughter of nobility, protect me
The treacherous nights have made me lose her

16. Without the nights I would not have been cheated
Satisfied with what the Creator decreed for us

17. For we are but the sons of water and clay
Like beasts, the world is our pasture

18. We graze and drink water for a time
We forget the dangers in this world

19. Like a ship sailing in surging seas
The slightest thing hurts or gladdens us

20. A bit of money or less than worthless
We do not know what remains of us and the end

21. Not the minds we have benefit us
Alas, an untrusted mind is of no use

22. O Lord, I trust in Your pardon
My reliance is not on my deeds or faith

23. Strive for me and save my family from the torment of tomorrow
And protect him in this life and save me

24. He is my treasure, my helper, my trusted brother
If I call him in disasters, he will answer me

25. All calamities to me are trivial
If he remains, tell them leave me or reduce them
