1. They said you were patient, but I was not patient to be tortured,
Rather, I pretend patience out of lack of choice.

2. Do not dissuade me from them, lest you make me eager for them,
For sometimes prohibitions make one eager.

3. I am a slave of those I love, a slave of passion,
Even if I were Sapoor or Alexander,

4. Arrogance does not suit the brother of passion.
And it is strange for a lover to be arrogant.
