1. My soul is a sacrifice for the neighbors
Whose memory stirs fragrances

2. They marched arrayed
Folding the meadows of the sad earth

3. Their steps began to fade
And my heart faded after their caravan

4. It fades after their wanderings
My heart turns to Allah as it fades

5. Passion flared up in feelings
And my tears flowed copiously

6. The day of turmoil did not alarm me
When the swords clashed violently

7. But my heart was disturbed by a young gazelle
Drawing tears from my eyes

8. If she knew my devotion
Her tears would copiously flow

9. I see embers of dawn
Igniting in my soul

10. Their fire has not died out
Never! The fire of passion dies

11. Despite malice
My heart found peace

12. Fear of slanderers veiled it
To them belong the black concealments

13. Now the thorns of his cheek
Refrain from roses and gardens

14. Like ants fleeing
From his gardens and orchard

15. His watchful eyes
Never ceased when swords clashed violently
