1. As long as my heart is captivated by Ali
How can I survive, for death is swifter for me

2. And how can I be safe from a glance whose watcher
Is like an unsheathed sword with a broken blade

3. O you who related in the souls' regards for him
Named at the falling of eggs and pots unbroken

4. Restrain your gaze and sheathe this sword, for there is not
Upon you any haste in killing lovers

5. You have routed the legions of lovers through him
In the battle of the gazelle, not the battle of the camel
