1. The gazelle fears the lion though his stance wounds
Our lifespans settled on the edge of his eyelid

2. Robbing strength with his rejection and aversion
Of my efforts for his friendship and safety

3. O you whose magic Hārūt became powerless in his craft
Be gentle, it's the way of kings, so do not drag

4. O owner of all hearts, with your beauty
Passion rules my mind, melting it

5. And longing weakened my patience from its pillar
Your abandonment caused a separation between my eyelid and tears

6. And a cloud poured from my eyelid its last shower
Have mercy on one lovesick for you, about

7. To perish from sorrow in his grief
Forgive, even with a visit to cool my ardour

8. And burn the slanderer with his ill thoughts
