1. In the passion of love, if I die, I will be an example,
Like Amro son of Ajlân, whom Hind tempted,

2. And like others who died of the same malady as I,
Except that the time of my death has not yet come.

3. Is love anything but sigh after sigh,
And heat in the vitals that has no coldness?

4. And the flowing of tears from my eyes whenever
A token appears from your land that was not appearing before.
