1. My eyes refused to sleep after you
How can one who is sick sleep?

2. I cried from the separation when I met
And revisited youth and passion

3. And I returned to Iraq against my will
And left the Levant and Damascus

4. On the coast of Damascus and its inhabitants
Greetings from a Muslim who met the doves

5. A feminine notebook, a love letter
When she appears, she resembles a boy

6. She avoids water and pure honey
And drinks from her youth the wine

7. She says to her sword, O sword rejoice
You will be satisfied with blood and lead the attack

8. And one advising her sincerely
Why did you kill this brave one?

9. Her elegant reply was
Shall I combine this face and the unlawful?

10. The trade of every lover succeeded
Who gifts his beloved greetings
