1. They said so-and-so has repented
And his soul has returned to asceticism

2. I asked about his repentance and they said yes
So I became more amazed

3. Whose sheikh, they said the one
Who was honored with titles

4. A trick, they said yes that's him
I said the one who never stopped being sly

5. They said yes, I said but hadn't he
Sworn he'd never cross this door

6. Because he was deceitful
Deceiving without shame

7. A woman with flowing hair
Soft to the touch like a gazelle

8. She wishes if he spent the night
Passionately in love with her

9. Stormy, shaking
Uprooting poles and tents

10. She dances like a bear when she sees
Him in a social gathering

11. A loose woman who always
Sees everything in him flowing

12. She said to him, giggling
Should we close the door

13. My dear the promise, it saddened me
Your slap to the sheikh and he didn't repent

14. Busy with his nonsense
Glancing at prayer mats and mihrabs

15. You forgot when the sheikh was pure to you
With treats of Hummus and Tabbouleh

16. And when he brought you grapes from his vineyard
As wine for you

17. The blessing will betray you, that
Which he served you in cups yesterday

18. And backgammon is a pledge to his conquest
He always wins at dice

19. He said to her enough, enough of what happened
Don't think the sheikh a fraud
