1. I swear by the tablet and the pen
My angel gave judgment to shed my blood

2. He who is most handsome in appearance
Temptation for both Arabs and non-Arabs

3. And the reflection of a light that has deceived him
The full moon told of it in the darkness

4. So one day he turned to the awaited one
He almost ended the pain

5. His tears were insufficient to express the crushing sorrows
The presses of grapes and blood

6. He complains of the love of the one with gentle voice
His love is like a fleeting shadow

7. So her glances murdered us
The murderous blows of a sharp sword

8. Does he know the next morning when I move away
I entrusted my inner self in agony

9. Depriving the souls of their comfort
My blood spilt into his comfort

10. I was one of strong determination
Worry left me no determination

11. With tired eyelids, he prayed humbly
With sleepless eyelids, he did not sleep

12. The core of my heart prayed depressed
Increasing its illnesses upon illnesses

13. How can the sleepless lover listen
His ears blocked in deafness

14. Oh my people, from the injustice
Of one unfair in his rule from the beginning

15. One with horns blames a young man
And if he blames, he is not blamed

16. If he smells greed from a lover
His horns whiten in covetousness

17. And I ransom Arabs with my soul
Who descended under peaceful protection

18. Go away from my sight for you
Have struck at the heart from the tents

19. For me is a heart imprinted with their traces
Among those hills and sorrows

20. The judgment of God dictated our separation
And for you is God’s judgment
