1. Tears dwell in your eyes and sorrows in your heart,
Zaynab's specter still troubles me after joy has passed,

2. And when her image comes to me in dreams,
Her wounded image lacerates my infatuated heart.

3. Did you make your fault his and wrong him
When pleading your case, though the judge is unfair?

4. If you avoid sins, he will excuse you,
For the sick are pardoned, while the healthy are blamed.

5. I saw you one day, still newly wed,
With no shame or blame in your union.

6. Now experience and propriety admonish you
And decree against it, though love still binds you.

7. The wise avoided the snares of love before,
And so escaped while I remain enthralled.

8. Time has moved on though I still recall our days together fondly,
For despite your coldness, Time remains generous.

9. It moves on though I still recall our days together fondly,
Despite your coldness, Time remains generous.

10.
With youth, loves sworn in childhood weakened

11. While he remained true though time marched on.
You chided him when you were well, but sick,

12. How different the healthy are from the ill!
You pained him long but he returned with patience,

13. For lovers bear much from their beloved.
You claimed reluctance while passion burned within,

14. Yearning for you though you are cold.
