1. My apologies, but my heart has no excuse
For being infatuated with that charm

2. As dark as the night on a cheek
Glory to Him who made the dawn emerge from it

3. Oh heart, since pierced by the arrow of love
The arrows of his eyes, so where to flee?

4. Intoxicated by the charm of youth’s wine
Yet his lashes retain traces of kohl

5. How can I be saved from passionate love
That has encompassed my heart, surrounding it

6. Oh moon in my heart, you have become
Minutes concealed even from soothsayers

7. Do not abandon me, you who
My passion flows towards, however it went

8. Oh companions, the gazelle of my fervor
Taught my sleep to flee from my eyelids

9. None but Sulayma legitimized shedding my blood
May Allah make Sulayma avenge it

10. His glance shows me power
While his eyes glance at me submissively

11. If his eyes met Haydar’s
His hand could not carry that sword

12. He who captures the minds of all people
With a glance of his cautious, cautious eyes

13. If the blamer knew my passion for him
He would come apologize to me

14. Woe to him from the love of a Hejazi girl
Whose fathers are the lofty, highborn people of Nizar

15. The horizon would glow ruby
If it found itself on Sauda’s arm as a bracelet

16. The time for drinking wine has doubled
Oh for the regrets, the regrets, the regrets
