1. Hind came complaining to her mother,
Glorified is He who joined the two streams,

2. She said "At dawn today,
He came and kissed me twice,

3. Then he fled, but when dusk fell,
He who has two locks of hair loved me,

4. He did not fear, oh mother, but embraced me
And cast two stars upon my smile,

5. Melting his color pleading,
And kohl'd my eyes with his own two,

6. I went to the garden, oh my garden,
And he tried to do like the first two times,

7. So I hid my face but he
Stretched out both hands to my chest,

8. And oh my shock when I opened my eyes
And saw two pomegranates in my chest,

9. The branch kept swaying over me until it bent
To prostrate twice at my feet,

10. And on his head were two roses
So he offered me those two roses of yours,

11. And I feared the branch as it whispered
In my ears two words,

12. So I fled to the sea to escape
And it carried me on two waves,

13. No sooner had I fled than there rose up
Behind me two turbulent seas,

14. It is the sea, oh mother, so many
Drowning youths and youths in between,

15. So here I am complaining to you about all,
For God's sake, mother, what do you think?"

16. Her mother laughed and caressed
Her cloak's two sleeves in wonder,

17. "I know them each, every one,
And I've tasted what you tasted twice,
