1. Alas! Arrogance has made me alienate my family
And I have become so arrogant I care not for people

2. And yet I conceal my love for her though it is known
Like a foolish drummer beating his drum under the balcony

3. I see both her family and mine would be glad
If the rope that binds us could be unbound

4. There is no suspicion between us regarding affection
Neither she nor I would be accused or maligned
