1. I yielded to the one who called me to revelry
And opposed the one who prohibited me from it

2. And none is as faithful in love as I
If the glances of the beloved incline towards my love

3. I obeyed a wanton heart
To desires let loose without restraint

4. It contends with all who seek my union
And prefers with love those who spurned me

5. And it does not love where it is hurt
Except the gentle companions or the houri of paradise

6. The passion of one who does not care
Compels me even if death severs my ties

7. It exposes me to the trial of every matter
And makes me bear the likes of spears
