1. Aws ibn 'Amir came to me in the twilight
Wanting to trick me away from her with the wiles of his smooth talk

2. He bargained a little while, hopeless, unsuccessful
And brought a soul confident in its bargains

3. I swore if you would give what you valued the like of
While you were so eager, you would not have gone to her head

4. Did her veils' fragrance delude you away from her company?
The mother of dwellings is disgusted during her menses

5. So he turned away, no longer hopeful, though his soul still coveted,
Echoing endlessly in despair
