1. I concealed love, O Hakam
No, by Allah, it does not conceal

2. And I have not seen the like of this love
If they knew, they would blame me

3. And nothing but my gaze upon them
When I come to accuse them

4. I avoided my cousins and relatives
The son of the paternal uncle and relatives

5. And love for the cheek of al-Wadah
Is a love that does not fade away

6. Are you by neighbor a hostage
His neighbors quenched the blood price

7. Oh you, the pagan priest
Who has turned him away from his idol

8. If not for my love of them
My feet would not have walked to meet them

9. It saddens you what some people say
They reviled you because they knew

10. They have no pure love
And no sacred love

11. They were merry and boastful
And your sickly body recovered

12. And your brother from Asad said
A brother from generous Sus

13. I was certain that you
Will inevitably crash

14. And Badr from Bani Hawa
Lives in darkness without him

15. Some people blame you
With the blame of blame though they have not known

16. And they dispraised him, so the most
intense of what they dispraised was their claim

17. That my princess was
Haughty in her theorizing

18. And heavy in her hips
And crushing in her sides

19. And wide in her fangs
So they portrayed her wrongly without knowledge

20. My heart will not lack love
Or anger for their spite

21. Empty of love for the white one
Whose lips are red

22. If love does not
Make your hands distributed

23. And one embraced you
In love as a relative

24. So people blamed you
They were unjust and oppressive
