1. They have blocked the world in its face
Oh, have mercy on the passionate lover

2. With a heart torn apart when it burns
They returned to leave him broken debris

3. They did not leave the poor man in his worries
Rather, they burdened him with all the blame

4. Oh you who blame me in love, leave me be
For with blame, the flames of passion grow

5. You want to extinguish the fire of yearning
So the raging tears drown the resolute

6. Salma, you are lost, here is my hand
Salma, so guide me through the darkness

7. You are a ray of light in my eyes
And the throbbing heart amidst the bones
