1. Others hold fast to your rope,
While I hold fast to your dust.

2. I lay my cheeks in the path of your shoes,
As if by its dust I gain blessings.

3. Indeed I gave my soul, except that I
Deceived you and gave what I do not own.

4. My condition is that my love for you is sincere,
And conditions in all doctrines, I own.

5. I have tasted your love, so it became my ruin,
And some foods when tasted, ruin.

6. Do not rush to kill me before we meet,
And reconcile, for that is a loss that can be regained.

7. I cried from my shock at your arrival,
And laughed before while your separation destroys me.

8. Sometimes joy makes me cry when it comes
In excess, and in some adversities, it makes me laugh.

9. The slanderers claimed that I love no one but you,
O killer of the slanderer, so how can he be refuted?

10. It is disgraceful for me to be a legislator
Of the religion of passion, and be called polytheist.
