1. Shall Zainab be connected or abandoned
Even if she wronged us, how could we not forgive

2. She hinted and insisted that she
Wants reproach and is arrogant

3. And she knows that with us
She has precious affection that does not appear

4. And love, even if the slanderers spoke
Ill of her, even if the critic exaggerates

5. And I'm not like the girl said
The morning after they stirred up the ashes

6. "Aren't you sheltering us, O youth
When the misfortunes fall asleep, we are cautious?"

7. So I said "Yes, stay advising
To shake off what worries us"

8. And proof of that is you hearing
The call to prayer, O long-lived one

9. So I came while the people were asleep
While two women argued and the date seller lowered his price

10. A horse with its bridle hanging askew
So I secretly greeted them and she welcomed me

11. While my heart quivered with fear
And she said "You were disturbed and obeyed

12. The words of the enemy, who will deter him?"
So I said "The words of my wise brother

13. Who hears her speech and sees"
"Do you seek sins from the silent

14. When I have not sinned so that you may betray me
If you have tried to cut the ropes of love

15. Then connecting with you cannot be severed
And if you pretended to reproach

16. Then being content with you makes me rich"
A free woman next to her said

17. Sweetly, kissing her and squeezing her
"Leave off blaming the youth and favor him

18. For affection has necklaces for him"
So I stayed judging what she wanted

19. Until dawn broke bright and blond
She would lean on me when I gave her to drink

20. As a stumbling drunk leans, redolent
Carnations wafted from her pocket

21. And the scents of jasmine and amber
So I stayed while my night with Layla, yes or no

22. Was by her, without my night being shorter
And how can I avoid love’s home

23. Or how can I abstain from mentioning her
She saw you with one eye and you saw her

24. And the one who sees does not reproach
