1. Come, let's make amends - may God watch over you - for what's gone wrong
You did not ruin what had already begun to spoil

2. My dear grew lonely after her familiarity
And turned away after once drawing near

3. I showed her “experience” but she lost her appetite
Imagining thousands upon thousands her worth doubled

4. That I have Qarun's treasure and she has
An inheritance that benefits kin and child

5. After she once marveled at a score
She now seems to lose spirit and body

6. You have ruined “Mickey”, and Mickey is a rose plucked
From the eternal garden when she happily frolicked

7. As if her nakedness were in the wings of a kite
The naked dawn on the green fields appeared

8. As if the soul of a breeze in her breaths
Blows from a night in Dariya on silken clothes

9. Come let's make amends - may God watch over you - for what's gone wrong
And free her to fulfill the promise made

10. Spin for her the sweetest lies of speech
You’ll find in the hearts of singers an echo

11. Swear to her that she is a ten to which you have added
Two zeros, desiring by that jest and coquetry

12. Or that she is a leaf you have colored so it became
Like minted coins of paper currency

13. Or that she dreamed awake of a dream
Until, wiping her eyelids, was dismissed

14. Swear to her that if you owned her
You'd die of joy or be possessed and tremble

15. "Experience" knows only troubles..
Or quarrel.. Or bitterness that it reaped

16. But it owns the world with fiery
Passion and a heart that ignites the numb

17. And your share of this and that is half
In some of which breeds hatred and envy

18. Give him shade he can take refuge in
And forget in your day a vanished past and tomorrow

19. And give him treasures plentiful in you
For in love lies an ever plentiful treasure

20. And do not consider the difference of years an obstacle
For how often the father suited "the coquetry" of the son

21. Seventy-three when joined
Are: youth, restraint, charm and wisdom

22. If you submit, the sapling of art will sleep between you
And whoever dies one day has gained eternity

23. Drip for her what bees gather of nectar
For in words lies a flower that gathers nectar

24. Or else your death by my hands and your will in my mouth
For in words lies a poison that kills lions
