1. Alas! For the eye that continues to shed tears,
And the eye of the lover lost in longing.

2. For the eyelid that refused but to follow you,
And the heart that refused but to roam towards you.

3. It refuses misery that it may pasture while owning it,
I see that the path to it is death.

4. And the love of the miserly one provoked his grief,
Yet the foot loves the thing while he is stingy.

5. And if my heart is ripped apart, I would say -
While the separater means the love so he says:

6. "God has made my heart stick to His truth,
While women fulfill what is little for them."

7. And if my heart had wanted, it would have sold others, but
It refuses while you are long (lived).

8. And my turning away from you does not
Diminish anything of the truth from me, so know that it is heavy (hard).

9. Women say Umarah's love healed me,
They claimed, and in my body there is emaciation from that.

10. By God, I did not love her with doubtful love,
But that love is lethal.

11. An eye with bad omen called his heart to it,
At it, and an eye guiding to hair-tips.

12. At the middle ember, noble, and around it
Young maidens, houris, their beauty enticing.

13. They surrounded it from every side, as if it
Were a summer cloud, unveiling and folding.

14. If she hits with coolness from beneath her face,
Hillocks, the black of the two eyes more black.

15. On a neck from the wild animals, smooth
Having a glance that wears out the pining lover.
