1. From the fragrance of the caller, the All-Hearing,
I and my companions are kept awake and restless,

2. I am barred from loving those I cannot attain,
And from whom my longing is forbidden.

3. If you cannot accomplish a thing, then leave it,
And move on to what you can accomplish.

4. From the fragrance of the caller, the All-Hearing,
I and my companions are kept awake and restless.

5. Al-Samit Al-Jushami has taken her by force,
As if the whiteness of her cheek was lightning.

6. And the knights of Qais stand between us,
Their armor revealed on their forearms.

7. If you cannot accomplish a thing, then leave it,
And move on to what you can accomplish.
