1. I shed my honor and religion
In the wastes of time near him

2. Death wields the sword of demise
None but he can stay its blade

3. O cruelty of love, be gentle
Though but with the boughs of pomegranates

4. Naught of me remains
That hopes for world or faith

5. Love is but perdition
Have mercy upon lovers

6. Abdul Malik, I love you
Yet no way to you exists

7. My Lord, you suffice me
I pine, longing for you

8. Until your lover wastes away
And relief lies in your hands

9. God, God, have mercy
I fled the battle of Siffin

10. How much in you my wishes rested
Yet fate them overtook

11. God, between me and you
O my killer, by your disdain

12. You burdened my heart between us
And no cure exists for its pain

13. Can passion claim your faith
And death, without its decree?

14. Gently, with a soul unwilling
Without you, it knows no humiliation

15. It calls you, aware
As Thul Nun called on God

16. No more I hide this love
I'm weary with concealing it

17. I've no comfort loving one
If I proclaim not his name

18. Say to the watcher, I will sing
Whether he scowls or rages

19. When sorrow comes
Seek the tender gazelles there

20. And give greetings in particular
To Abdul Malik bin Thani
