1. The enemy's eye wept with pity for youth
So why does the heart's beloved not have mercy on youth?

2. Stingy that the slain should live by his glance
And the thirsty gain cool, sweet water

3. It seems too far that the abodes are near
So for how long with remoteness does he mix nearness for me?

4. With myself I loved a lover who betrayed me and I adored him
So my heart's torment increased and its love for him grew

5. I gave him my hidden love and my tears
Yet he was not content until I gave him my heart

6. It appeared to me so I said "Give it back!" He said "I own it
And had you not gifted it to me I would have seized it by force"

7. With two Harut-like eyes as if
He unsheathes a severe sword toward me from them

8. He showed me the folly of the beguiling gazelle and led me
Humiliated, and how the passion made its course difficult!

9. I soaked my robe with tears, and yet
The weeping one is increased by them in hardship upon hardship

10. I sent my messenger - the imagination that traveled
To you - with my tear and the breeze that blew
