1. Do you suffer from the malady of separation,
O companion of an ardent, passionate heart?

2. Beware of the flirtatious eyes,
For they are the bane of an ardent heart.

3. Slender in build, sweet in character,
When he turns his neck,

4. A young camel, silent and girt.
By God, even if I lived a pleasant, agreeable life,

5. I would not, for the sake of branches that yearn,
With soft, luxuriant leaves,

6. Say: is there any remedy for my illness or relief?
