1. She said, and I said: "Show restraint and pray,
The rope of a man is in your connection."

2. So unite with my husband, I told her.
Betrayal is not of my kind.

3. There are two I will not join together:
The neighbor of my friend and of my side.

4. As for my friend, I will not betray him,
And my Lord has entrusted me with the neighbor.

5. By the valley of Mecca, I will not confess it -
A Qurashi woman has conquered my heart.

6. Had she, when her procession passed
On the day of Kadid, obeyed me, my companions

7. Would have said: Greetings from yearning to her,
And to her procession, greetings from riders.

8. I kill my longing by seeing her,
As cold sweet water kills thirst.

9. If all the people together
Inhabited one valley - greetings! While you are in a valley,

10. I would have isolated your valley from theirs
And being near you would have sufficed me.

11. Like this, we mention to a lovely woman
Some talk - your riding animal has straightened, companions.

12. And we conveyed to her: Why the rejection? And why
Should we sin when you began with sin?

13. If you accept, we accept and bring you down
From us to the abode of plains and breadth.

14. Or if you turn your back, you embitter our life
And split those harmonious with the valley.
