1. O Zaid, how could you forget your life
And prolong your separation after union

2. Patience, for you have not left me
A resilient soul to withstand your betrayal

3. This pleases me, that which is
A consolation, if it pleases you

4. If this is out of consent
And you know it, then command your matter

5. Or if your intention in passion
Is to kill me, may God prolong your life

6. My master, how beautiful you are in
The heart of the lover, and how bitter

7. Whatever you wish of beauty
I do not underestimate your worth
