1. O friend, do not blame your brother, for he
Bears wounds unseen by you or me.

2. God knows I do believe
If Umm Al-Walid's daughter sought my aid

3. That I would hasten to her side.
Why do I see all womankind as one,

4. And yet my love for you renews its run?
When I say "Pass!" it will not budge,

5. My heart still chained in endless trudge.
The rising sun adorns itself each day,

6. The moon discards its veil and goes astray.
My heart is captive to such beauty bare,
