1. With her meeting my anguish was cured
When the next morning those sorrows were gone

2. Far from every goal, incapable of reaching the Nile
When she sways, her sides quiver

3. As a meadow sways when the wild cows roam
Her languor is beautiful, even deadly

4. As a polished sword is rightly admired
We stood there, our eyes busy

5. Her tearful glance fighting off her weakness
Her neck inclined until the necklace

6. Hung not too loose nor too tight
Her wrists adorned with bangles

7. Sway as she walks proudly
Her straight posture corrected

8. By a natural poise not contrived
She walked as if on cushions

9. Though the litters were full and cramped
I say my heart grows ever sicker

10. Does one killed revive from further killing?
No mind crazed is cured by a heart

11. Excited by a fleeting glance, however dear
A new companion forgot old vows

12. And the old friend is now fickle
As long as the lover is true,

13. And the friend keeps his trust
I denounce those I once praised

14. If they are many, still they are few
Through all times we have true friends

15. Though relations change as fate does
Suspicion may pardon one hoped for

16. As rainclouds pardon the hills
The absent beloved is not missed

17. Rather, the beloved is forgotten!
The miser's lack grieves the beggar

18. As a miser's mother grieves his stinginess
The girls wear holiday clothes

19. And finery stays if we wish
In life, we stay or take leave

20. Both satisfy, or departure does
Ala secured bounty's commencement

21. His guarantor - the carpenter's son
The Arayhi loved gifts

22. As the wine-sippers loved wine
He has lasting glory, and his father's sons

23. Noble qualities, no pretensions
A people whose famed house all seek

24. Their grandee's name is great
If they extend lofty palms

25. Theirs surpass all outstretched hands
Though we travel different ways

26. And reason arranges our paths
We go where our principles guide

27. And desire takes us where it wills
Abu Isa you rise high, yet you are

28. Of noble soul and clan
My love for you has no excess

29. When right descends, as descend it will
But one of noble thoughts have I seen

30. Generous, though not like you
When much is said and little done

31. Deeds, not words, tell what you will
