1. I wish my fire would lurk within me
Containing me, without seeing you saddened

2. Love was born intensely in my heart
So forgive me if I lose my serenity

3. It sways in my mind like a wave
So when it rages I become like a ship

4. Please do not pretend, please do not pretend
You have some spite against me

5. God knows what the heart complained of hatred
God would have fulfilled if I had complained of a mulberry tree!

6. All that is in me is that I am obsessed
A mountain that stored up sad waters

7. Love gets angry between my ribs out of love
And hides its yearning beneath aloofness

8. And the bird of my heart sings a melody
While it hides the moaning with the singing

9. I am fire as you saw, and light
I entered the paradise of love and its madness!

10. My fate is to live love secretly
The pleasure of love is for it to remain hidden!

11. Affection fed my pulsating heart gently
Whoever touched the eyelids tasted a fountain

12. It has to me bright ideas
And treasures behind the ribs, precious!

13. Love resided in me, a bedouin poet
And instilled in me its sorrows

14. If love built homes in hearts
It would have built for me in my heart a city!!
