1. My body passed by the wineshops
And the cooing of doves to songs

2. And an apparition, whenever I wavered weakly
Came to me from the rosy-cheeked slopes

3. She has a cheek rivaling the full moon in beauty
Leading the grazing camels with silken reins

4. Sickness is in hearts smitten with love
And fate led me while passion made me crave

5. I said to her: Umaamah, what makes me sad
Other than the son of succor, refuge of all jinn

6. Noble, his lineage pure, and his dignity intact
Surpassing the highest of all hopes
