1. I bear love for none but you, though you doubt me,
My heart's torment for your love you cannot see,

2. Rebuke me as you wish, but beware my jealousy,
For in it lies our ruin, can't you see?

3. By God, if I hear the full moon's beauty
Outshines your radiance, I cannot agree,

4. Or find the breeze playing with your tresses,
Pleased with your consent, fills me with unease,

5. Or see the beautiful dawn kiss your cheek,
Granting your beauty but a glimpse, I seethe,

6. Then farewell it must be, you'll not find me,
At our farewell, moved to tears, believe me!

7. Oh Thuraya, play not with fire, I implore,
Of my jealousy, I caution you beware,

8. A fire that will end me, if you persist,
And if I die, do you think I'll still care?
