1. O Nu'm, your procrastination has been prolonged
If waiting benefits a lover, then our healing

2. And our death would be
In hearing you, so we miss that

3. I ransomed the one who was cured by seeing him
But he refused though he had many ailments

4. A gazelle adorned by its attributes
And the eye adorned by its kohl

5. Had she appeared to an erect, steadfast
Tall knight spending the nights beseeching

6. Roaming a land without companions
In it are his law and destination

7. He stood firmly and took off his cloak
And strove, making his striving easier than sand

8. Until he beholds her closely
As a woven thread, and their steadfastness deserves to be woven

9. We hoped to attain him
Among those we hope for and converse with

10. Until there came to our gazelle a man
From Mecca, adorned by his garments

11. Who goes to it in the morning pulling his train
And returns in a band, humbling it

12. So he shot, and hit his mark
And it moaned, facilitating the youth's fate

13. She said to the companions going around her
My eyes and tears, continuous are their streams

14. You are our adornment, our separation
And for every friend, his deed is his adornment

15. Do not hasten him to ask us
If the heaviness of his heart has been lifted

16. I ransom the carrier and the present one
And I ransom what his perfection ascends with

17. And I ransom the one whose dwellings
Were in the plain or a rugged mountain
