1. My tears over passion are my guide,
While the path of solace is not my path.

2. Do not fear for me, though many blame me,
I pay no heed to censurers.

3. Whenever a lightning flash appears,
I melt in yearning for Najd, and my malady flares up in me,

4. I waver between a new passion
Above my passion, and a cheek on which I lay my cheek.
