1. By my life, I made clear on the face of her sulking
The morning we met frowning and anger

2. With no ill intent was I courteous to her
Yet how strange she later spoke ill of me

3. Truly I'm forbidden, if a slanderer says
One day something that matches or contradicts

4. So let patience fill my soul or I shall die
If a rope of your ropes has come undone

5. For in the people of Mecca we've no need
Except you, even if you've cut short our connection

6. And say to women who envy your love for me
If any of them understands our separation has happened

7. We've come to that which others before haven't come
So accept from women and men whom you love
