1. I wish India would fulfill what she promises
And sooth our souls from what they endure

2. And conquer just once
Only the incapable does not conquer

3. They claim she asked her neighbors
And once uncovered herself shivering

4. "Do you see me as he describes me?
May God give you long lives or be moderate?"

5. So they laughed and said to her
"Beauty is in the eye of every beholder"

6. Envy they blamed on her
And envy has long been among people

7. A doe who reveals her buckteeth
When clear of braces or cold

8. With eyes on both her sides
Passion in them and in the neck a flexure

9. A girl chilled in hot weather
When the summer heat has become inflamed

10. The warmth of winter is a blanket for the young man
Under a night when numbness covers him

11. And I remember when you said to her
While my tears run down my cheek

12. I said “Who are you?” She replied “I am who
Passion has inspired and ecstasy has wasted”

13. “We are the stealthy people of Mina
To a victim we killed we owe no blood-money”

14. I said “Welcome, you are our sought ones”
She then named herself saying “I am Hind”

15. “Only my heart has become sick so it tossed
A sudden ascent in riders chasing”

16. “Only your people are neighbors of ours
We and them are but one thing”

17. They told me she whispered to me
Knots, oh the best knots

18. Whenever I said “When is our appointment?”
Hind would laugh and say “The day after tomorrow”
