1. Reproach is no remedy for the lover wronged
Reproach does not relieve the pain of one forsaken

2. O you who waste reproach on a lover
Since he was never disloyal to passion

3. Do not blame one who sheds the cloak of chastity for Jafar
The dissolute with him is anything but dissolute

4. A supple shoot, the glance of his eye artfully formed
From the essence of the graceful figure's beauty

5. As if all time for what we see
Of roses and gardens is the spring season

6. If with humility the blame of the lovelorn were averted
I would show the blamer the garment of humility

7. Rather if I controlled the reins of my heart in passion
I would give my eyelids the reins of my tears

8. And if the ardour of love lays bare what I have concealed
A sigh betrays the crookedness of my ribs
