1. My heart was troubled, so I said: O heart, wait!
Do not replace wisdom and resolve with ignorance.

2. She swore that certainty came to her.
I said: do not swear, I ransom you, no!

3. I ask Allah, whoever harmed you with injury,
to see humiliation in life.

4. So fear Allah, and accept my excuse,
and overlook some of what was a misstep.

5. I do not welcome that you were angry, but
welcome if you are pleased with me. Hello!

6. A face I saw on the night of the full moon,
on it beauty and adornment were built.

7. Your face is the face - if with it you asked increase
of beauty and charm, it would begin.

8. And the most wondrous of faces, a rival
in which the beauty of charm settled and abode.

9. I am content with greetings from you,
and I see that from your gift as plenty.

10. I do not betray the friend as long as I live
until the sea is ladled with sieves.

11. Then she said: Do not inform anyone of my secret,
cousin I swore. I said: Yes, I will not.

12. If I have suspected you, then the fault is mine,
and disgrace is his who asked and few.

13. Whoever desires immorality in love between us
may Allah paralyze his arms.

14. Tell me, your life and family ransom me,
do you love me like your love for reproach?

15. In endurance is relief from hardship,
and goodness in the answer better than no.
