1. The passion is disdained though he is most majestic
And my sanity in following it is all misguidance

2. And though I was infatuated with the one who brings joy to existence through his splendor
I left the beloved of my heart, not out of misguidance

3. And I am surely afflicted in my heart for him, without doubt
And my affliction for his love has made me love him

4. And any love other than his love, I have refused
And my night, though the world sleeps, I do not refuse it

5. And if he wished for union, I would accept it
But he has committed a sin that leads to polytheism

6. And in our religion of Islam, our Lord has prohibited
For the believers polytheism with God and adultery

7. And this one invites to what is contrary to our religion
He wanted a partner in the love between us

8. And I am not one who accepts polytheism in love
I see that this diminishes lovers

9. And I have a straight and sincere path away from him
And though he is an exalted beloved, I turn away

10. Because I am loyal to monotheism in love
And the faith of my heart does not incline toward polytheism
