1. My last testament to Rabab as she spoke
Of our night in Bat'ha while tears flowed

2. You were perturbed and obeyed the slanderers and clarified
The attributes of a passionate love so why the crime?

3. Come tell me of my sin that I may confess
Of your grievance that I may know how to relent

4. If it was a sin against you I committed
I did so intentionally and blame myself

5. And if it was something a defamer told you
However he wished to present it against me and piece together

6. So you believed him - I could not stop him
Nor control enemies speaking as they please

7. I spoke and it was an argument agreeing with
Some truth I knew from me

8. You spoke truthfully and whoever knows but hides a testimony
Against himself or another is most unjust

9. As for that which you reproached me for, I submit
To your reproach, for in the defiance of creation, I succumb

10. Your grievance with me is that I do not return
And I swear by the Merciful, we shall not speak

11. And I said to her, if people would take a path
And you turn East from their direction

12. My heart would compel me to follow you, for I
Will be forever afflicted, lovesick with your memory

13. I see what is beyond Najd, when you reside in it
As beautiful, and I adore the valley if you wander there
