1. O aunt, we did not fear you
Until I was told yesterday what you said, that we should abandon him

2. Do not do that, may my soul redeem you
By Allah, I shall not get angry with you

3. Until I am placed dead in my grave
Go back to the best relationship we used to have

4. O the most beautiful of jinn and humans
You are the day, the heart craves, and love for you

5. Never ceases, every time the evening comes
You have become an evening I wander with

6. Amongst the people of the caves and sessions
If it wasn’t for what I got from you, we would have

7. Slipped away, and my stay in your land would have been brief
By Allah, I shall not forget her swinging walk

8. Wobbling between five young maidens
Like sheep walking through reedbeds

9. And thickets and silent woodlands
Her face was like the full moon when she turned

10. And when she smiled, you were like the sun
