1. A caller called him to jihad, so they set out
On a journey, and he volunteered his soul eagerly

2. His passion for his wedding overcame him
So he declined, though he had bidden his heart farewell

3. After him Amina spent her days
In sorrow, no longer the carefree Amina

4. She planted a narcissus flower in her courtyard
To console her until he might return

5. She tended to it as a mother tends
To her suckling babe

6. Until the news reached her about her husband
That deafened the ears and terrified

7. Her bitterness over him intensified, and she nearly
Cracked from the horror of that news

8. As if that calamity, before befalling,
Was not something she had anticipated

9. So in the morning she checked on her dear friend
Who had consoled her sorrow and anguish

10. And found that its radiance had faded, as if
Grief had caused tears to flow from it
