1. Your heart is no longer the same as before
Yet you did not care to endure the neighbors

2. They appeared and the people of Nawaa were divided
How strange is the turn of time

3. Spring abandoned their country so they became destitute
And for my love of them I loved all of Yemen

4. God will return them and every wavering one
The desolate dwellings are signs of homelands

5. And I refused to sleep on any bloodstained bed
Cheap bedspreads of aromatic juniper

6. Clothes perfumed with fragrance soaked
Walking slowly like the gait of an afflicted one

7. A branch of the virtuous, whether coming or going
Is like the ascent of myrrh

8. Running over it whenever it is washed
Is the excess of steaming heat flowing like coral

9. Irrigating their house in which they were
When their messenger still comes to me

10. And I feared to be afflicted with your estrangement
For a lover bewilders a person

11. But your heart was hurt when her house appeared to you
In anguish, you almost confessed in secret
