1. My patience only stayed to depart
A grief that causes the lovers my excuse

2. So the cheeks of the veiled ones did not show
A blemish while in my chest is its dwelling

3. The deafness of desertion has left my heart perplexed
And it in body is made of water and wine

4. It knew its beauty so it made it
Languid to my infatuation lifelong

5. And her glance that enchanted me
So she is bewitched by my heart's spell

6. And she agreed on a pact and put forward a
Favor like a perfidious person's betrayal

7. And if she fulfills it, it's a pittance
And from generosity, one should give generously

8. She has regarded greeting people
As a gift, not like Hussein ibn Bashir

9. Visit her to gain by what she gives generously
Singing away from all people with gratitude and thanks

10. You will not find it your whole life except
With an apology for what you have scattered

11. So it has, since reaching the dew, shunned wealth
Thus glory is between connection and abandonment

12. I swore by the Kaaba of glorious deeds I shall
Not stand but for it as long as my life remains

13. And to it I made pilgrimage but my
Pilgrimage substitutes for my rites within it is my poetry

14. And the most high Abu Ali is a steed
Prudent, that only yields to the free

15. And with its noblewomen it is escorted and some
Of them, as I have known with my intellect
