1. O Amro, tell the rising moon,
The tear has widened on the patch.

2. O temptation of the onlooker, you have become with this deed,
Temptation of the listener.

3. Are you anything but a deficient coward,
Who took refuge in the den of a hungry lion?

4. What was hidden in your affairs,
Is now in the great mosque.

5. O long my thoughts of you, carrier,
Of a scroll with broken seal.
