1. You have shattered my livers like glass,
And made the sweet bitter with salty bitterness.

2. You have poisoned my heart with the seeds of sorrow,
So there is no cure for the pain that plagues it.

3. O you who departs, traversing the desert,
With wild stallions galloping through the dunes.

4. You appear like the full moon, piercing through the darkness
With a shooting star blazing through the night.

5. The stars are aligned despite the adversity,
So for the weary there is hope of relief.

6. With determination bared on the arm of diligence,
Not bending for one in anguish and turmoil.

7. His only intent a raid to undertake,
Or a plunge into the throes of battle.

8. By Allah, heroes are not oppressed,
When heroes battle on a day of clamor.

9. In dire, narrow straits, the clashing of swords,
Amidst the white blades clamor and commotion.

10. The swords have mingled, drawing blood,
As the tips of spears collide with armor.

11. I am worse off than a lover with a heart,
That quivers from even the slightest agony of your love.

12. O wild and defiant one to moral law,
Like a lion preying on a flock of sheep.

13. You've become like the full moon, so it's no wonder
If you disappear between the Pleiades and the Hyades.

14. I entrust my beloved to Allah, distant
From me, so my life without him is mired in anguish.

15. If days bring us back together,
My soul will have no unfulfilled wishes before God.
