1. The words were intoxicated by the wine of your speech,
And the glances began to speak with your conscience.

2. O doll, were it not for propriety, both the preachers
And the deadly would have fallen in love with you.

3. Why did I give you my companionship and you rewarded me
With a fire that rages inside my ribs?

4. Why didn't you show kindness when you had me captivated?
The generous have often shown kindness even when their hearts were resentful.

5. I abandoned my whole tribe for your sake,
And now their hearts are always harsh towards me.

6. You banished sleep from my eyes, leaving them
Only tears and wakefulness at night.

7. Yet no arrows have been shot for anyone but you
With my blood, nor did anyone judge me but you.

8. So why do you listen to the jealous backbiter
When he comes to you with tales about me?

9. Pray forgiveness for a lover if he commits
A sin in the religion of your love, for passion itself preserves morality.

10. Love you until it does not incline in your love
To cause harm or to betray.

11. My wakeful eyes will not visit slumber
As long as ardour and passion remain alert.

12. Bearing what, if some of it were borne
By the people of love and passion, they would have desisted.

13. When it began, they took their seats in what transpired
Of his tears, and when he sighed, they departed.

14. Such is the love that made those breasts constrict
And diminished those coffers.
