1. My heart fell in love with a sincere affection
And unity after you from my obsession and evil thoughts

2. An idol settled in my heart with pure love
And his love crept slowly into my head

3. He hardened a soft heart and softened a hard coat
And made my heart tender from a harsh cruel person

4. Cruel, so cruel from the pain of his torment
Not torment that people suffer from caprice

5. I kept hiding in his love my youth
Until my love spread among people

6. The polished rose of his cheek adorned his cheek
A polish that adorns the gloss of paper

7. A full moon that circles around friends like a planet
Like the sun shining in the sky of a goblet

8. A young camel if the son of clouds mounts her
She gives birth to pearls like weddings

9. A blond, if she sits serving her cups
Her pouring hand stands serving the sitters

10. A gazelle, she is the pure ethereal soul
Free from defects and blemishes

11. I did not forget when my beloved jested
On a dark night, he jested intensely

12. I hope he will return to the lover with kindness
A return to the bitter nights has passed

13. How many paths in love I took with him
Bearing spite and my insight is piercing

14. I have not rested, all forbidden I obtained
And by obtaining it blinded my own insight

15. So I despaired of him after knowing that
With his intelligence he surpasses the intelligent Iyas

16. And I began to bite my teeth at him regretfully
By God, if only I had attached my molars to him

17. How could I assassinate him, a wise lion
Yet my eyes see him a weak rabbit

18. So I shook off my arrow’s nobility in despair of him
And broke some of my bows

19. How much I said to the aloof, you missed my waters
You are not of my pearls or silk

20. Four over a rib so you are not like one
I hit the fifth with the clubs and sticks

21. Take them to you, the prey of poetry
Which my father, knight Futrus, blinded its wrestlers

22. If poetry heals you, it is a medicine
Whose vials my hands poured, hands of a callous old hag
