1. How eagerly he sought to kill me, yet felt no shame
With the fire of his love searing my heart

2. Passion demanded a heart enslaved to love and yearning
Submissive to passion and longing, harnessed and controlled

3. A garden of beauty for the eyes to wander in
Adorned with pleasing, carefully arranged blossoms

4. O you who melted me with your cheek's unfading lilac
On your cheek, more vibrant than lilac in full bloom

5. This violet blossom on my cheek
Outshines any violet that can surpass the violet

6. I would have found bliss in Nu'man if not
For my head crowned with garlands of graying hair
