1. My eyes saw a graceful figure
With a face like the full moon

2. I became captive to love, as if
I had drunk heady wine

3. My heart complained of the tyranny of my eyes
And said they led me to passion

4. So I said, though they did him wrong
Don't you see they've abandoned sleep

5. My body complained of them both
For they brought me only sickness

6. I said all three have done wrong
Staying awake, persisting in their plight

7. My eyes keep vigil, my body weakened
My heart remains restless

8. While Munkar thinks love a game
Though passion sits enthroned within her

9. I think today has been a month
A month not seeing her this year

10. She lingers in Numan's village
Staying there just to spite me

11. May God strike her protector dead
And hasten my revenge

12. If she enjoys what she has reaped
I want no part of her remains

13. Yet still each day I renew
My longing, my yearning, my care

14. In my heart is a fire of desire
Growing in fervor when far from her

15. Time may slowly close the distance
And bring us together again

16. Healing with the salve of union
The sickness and grief of separation

17. It's enough what I have endured and recovered
No longer bothered by blameful love

18. You'd think me the greatest lover
The first crazed by passion
