1. The sight of doves at eventide ensnared me,
The afternoon prayer, as they descended into the valley below...

2. They seduced and captivated me, then bid adieu as I stood confused,
My passion for them impelled me, contrary to my habit...

3. Doves of yearning took flight, and my heart flew away,
Their wings toyed with love, playing tricks on my inner self...

4. For me, my destiny is set, O Saad, towards a grim end,
They will cause my slaughter, O Jak, my confidant...
