1. Sleepless nights tortured my eyes
Thus is the power

2. The blame is mine
For keeping faith with one who betrayed

3. O Reem, I've no excuse for abandonment
Nor resignation to separation

4. Battle those who
Left me endangered

5. And make anguish
For one whose soft waist allures

6. With a languid glance
Triumphant though broken

7. And a figure that bends
Its summit brighter than any moon

8. So I rouse the bough though
It has but the gloom of castle walls

9. When my eyes squint at it
I say, can this be human?

10. O heart, patience for the beloved
Who betrayed is like borrowing flames

11. And from passion for him
I've suffered, so take heed
