1. His heart was infatuated with her ignorantly,
And it was smitten with love, leaving no room for reason.

2. She passed by me on the road, but the heart
Did not retain her image by the end of the day.

3. No doe feeding on the fallen fruits
Of a date-palm is sweeter than her words:

4. "Let us be, for you cannot reward with favors,
Nor can you connect a rope that is unraveled."

5. And you have to endure the agony of a heart
That makes remembrance of you a preoccupation.

6. So I responded: "The lover is obligated,
So spare me your reproach and renew the gift."
