1. They say repent from her, and I will repent
If my Lord wills, I will turn back

2. Yet I deny my regret, and abandon my love
And after being lost, I will return to reason

3. I will turn a blind eye, if her beauty appears before me
Charming and playful, yet chaste

4. They say I am blinded by passion
But who finds reason after being misguided?

5. They say be content with what you have done
For the reckless and doubtful are not equal

6. I call to witness the valley of flowers and its gazelles
And the deer of the valley of travel, which is my love

7. Without fervent love, and a cup of wine
How can there be sweet melody?

8. She called me, though youth had left me
She called me, though youth does not obey old age

9. Even if I performed pilgrimage eighty times
I would still answer the call of the passions of youth

10. May God be with you, O my heart, may God be with you
Marked with wounds of obsession

11. Is not man always his younger self?
What will they say of me if I leave you?
