1. Remembering him deprived sleep
Of a lover turned away

2. After it was said he recovered
From seeking out loved ones

3. And the day he turned his cheek
And eyebrow away

4. It pained my heart when
One day he assumed high rank

5. The day she said to women
Of Lu'ayy, son of Ghalib

6. And intelligent companions
Like playful gazelles

7. “Rise from him, he may complain
Of his love or reproach”

8. So the delicate ones turned aside
Their burdens heavy

9. Lingering awhile
In the resting places of the mounts

10. From evening until the stars
Behind the hills disappeared

11. He got up, wandered and urged
His companions to hurry on

12. Saying “Dawn has come so let’s go back
Helped, and not denied”

13. And the night ended completely
Such is one of the calamities
