1. He who pines did not recover from the one who cured him for a time
And desire's deviation persisted with him for epochs

2. After a flirtatious one whose character was never touched
Except by wishes from us, not intimacy

3. When I say I've gotten over her, reluctance stirs him up
And longing and fervor return to him

4. And tears follow longing so whenever she was mentioned
The eye's tears flowed and poured down

5. Absence did not console him when it distanced her
And he did not attain through desire what he sought

6. So he is like one fading, neither dying nor
Living, and desire has burdened him with fatigue

7. The mind is broken, weary of life, and whoever
Clings to desire for the likes of her deserves to perish

8. Sufyana was granted, in the beauty of her form
Intellect and noble, perfect character, wonder
