1. Alas! Who suffers love's agony
Parts of him weep for other parts

2. Love for Lamiya left him distraught
In a state of confusion, dissatisfied

3. When Lamiya was mentioned, his tears flowed
His breath dependent on her generosity

4. He put his palms to his mouth and heart
Wounding them with intense heat and pressure

5. I'm wary of a slanderer who would
Deal the heart of the lover a fatal blow

6. I take refuge from harming you though you chide me
For my blood is a trust with God, to be honored

7. I've endured for love of you what if borne
By a mountain, it would signal collapse

8. I housed passion with tears until it bled out
Honoring its home with my flesh and pulse

9. My family turned hostile to kill my youth
But to me they're motes though I am gentle

10. I conceal your affair so their breasts tightened
From what I hid, over their hatred

11. If a man could hide from his own soul
I wouldn't divulge my love for you to myself

12. May God paralyze my hand if it signals
And blind my eyes if they reveal disdain

13. I found love sweet despite every sickness
Though your people's tyranny is hard to bear

14. My eyes happily sleep, for in you
I found my pillow, a respite from sorrow

15. If your family disfavored me, I anticipate
Visiting you, for pure love brought me joy

16. Come, let's flee them, for then we would have
A life free of turbulence and worries

17. It's as if passion made her heart ache
And she swooned like a supple branch

18. After refusing me, she gentled her reins
Letting me guide her how I wish
