1. Stop by the abandoned camp and ask its traces
Who after them has made it their place

2. And why did the inhabitants depart
From a home they'd hastily left without delay

3. Prolonged is my yearning, so cry with me if you wish
And mourn the deserted site and speak to its ruins

4. Excuse me my friend for blaming you
My heart has rebelled against one who blamed it

5. Don't add more to what has befallen it
For busying my heart is what has busied it

6. I won't forget the moment we parted
The beloved enraged and rounded up his camels then

7. He entrusted to the heart as he bid me farewell
Fires of affection not ceasing to blaze

8. He denied his lover union
For he knows that he has killed it

9. O' conflicted heart that desires love
Yet wearies of its bonds
