1. Without you, my love would have abandoned
My ancestral home

2. And grazed the grass only
In the meadows of the plateau

3. O Hind, your love is a bond
For me among bonds

4. Without you, my patience would not have endured
This endless misery

5. Nor would I have accepted my inaction
Nor my numbness

6. Nor would my fortunes have continued
Black upon black

7. Without you, I would have abandoned a land
Whose sky is of iron

8. And its earth of copper
And its people slaves

9. And its living in wishes
And its bread of promises

10. Without you, I would not have folded
My hand from cutting my veins

11. Nor sought with my death yesterday
The death of martyrdom

12. So my fortune was happy
The like of Sa'eed's fortune

13. O Hind we became and we were
And we did not find anything new

14. Enough causing my heart to suffer
With unrealizable wishes, do not add more

15. Do not advise me patience
For patience is unavailing
