1. The allure of passion has returned you
And there is no refuge from that except for one with restraint

2. So why did you pursue ecstasy, were you not
Like one who settled without having settled?

3. Awaken, for this is not the first intoxication
And in the like of it before you were hostage

4. The doer of injustice with eyelids in dividing sadness
Has the greatest share of it when tested

5. You think that because of the intensity of fancy's luxury
That she and I are partners in anguish

6. And tears traveled with our conversation
Spreading what the glancing calamity spread

7. To spare you from revealing my state and hers
And below her is what joined secret with public

8. You obliged mention of me cutting off every expanse
Otherwise I would have said what al-Hassan said
