1. Though your love has faded as time passed by
The sight of your face still rekindles it inside

2. Do not think that with distance and time
A longing lover will forget the pain you caused

3. As long as the breeze blows, he desires you
The cool morning breeze and its chill

4. He was not bothered by the winds of dawn
Had he not been avoiding you and your distance

5. A sadness from his necklace creeps to you
Indeed, what he wished for is in his necklace

6. Why blame love and passion? In desire
Is a burning flame of love that blazed

7. In finding you, though lost, his guidance
Would he but look inside and question himself

8. Would the critic make him change his mind?
Impossible! His determination is firm

9. What of him, if what ails him grows?
Until he returns, though exceeded his limit

10. Love is a hope that breed its own disease
A hope that passion empowers and extends

11. How many reluctant souls succumbed by force!
Morn and eve, enslaved by desire they became

12. By the valley's right, a handsome gazelle
Though opposed, yearns for it all the same

13. Strutting as the branches bend for the breeze
Swaying with pride as it walks tall

14. The wildflowers smile as it reveals its mouth
Cheeks blushing like unfurled rose petals

15. It promised my union, would that it
Fulfill its word after prolonged denial

16. The great distance made it break its old vow
May time return it to its former state!

17. As if plundering the barren land
The zebras roam, their manes flowing

18. Feared by winds, so his sadness
Like a vast sea engulfing its shores

19. Fear not the distant, obscure goal
Though remote, dreadful in its depth

20. Its distance prevented our visitation
Death is either its absence or loss

21. Misery that I live now departed
Gone, faded is his love for me

22. More misery that tears of his love
Once generously flowing are scarce

23. Of what use is long crying when passed
Is the era of union, though great its count

24. I miss him when songbirds melodiously trill
Yearning their harmonious singing in the valleys

25. Their warbling sparked love and drained my tears
Naught remains but their echo

26. Clouds drew him away, disappearing in their midst
Only the trace of his affection in the clouds stayed

27. Smiling, his lightning flashes amidst darkness
Weeping thunder in the gloom

28. Like my tears, eyes squinting in pain
While distance and loved ones are intertwined

29. When his caravan departed at dawn
Zainab, so delicate, still pulled its rope

30. The cavaliers marched, their coats of mail
Layered, glimmering, densely arranged

31. When they attacked with cries at dawn
Their swords shed the blood of their foes

32. Protecting it, as war grew intense
Lions in battle, their claws unsheathed
