1. Perhaps imaginings, when they roam,
will guide the eyes of the Hashimite to the burial grounds.

2. And oh Lord, if thoughts of passion depart,
then increase the burning in my heart and make it flare up.

3. And if boredom and disinterest enter my union,
then inspire her, my Lord, to abandon me.

4. I wished - but wishing and desires are fruitless -
that I might see a heart put up for sale, and bought.
