1. O Abu Ghazi, O epitome of nobility
The cream of pedigree and ancestry

2. And for your honorable friendship
I was blessed abundantly

3. Do you not recall our nights
The nights of union and separation

4. The nights of intimacy when we were
Conversing with the moon at night

5. Conversing with vanishing hope
While you were occupied with love so was I

6. And in both our hearts sighs
Like embers stoking up passion's fire

7. Abu Ghazi, those hours
That flew by like arrows and spears

8. When we had no heart
When we had no mind

9. Indeed, O wearer of the crown
Indeed, O unifier of the tribe

10. And adorn yourself with love’s crown
And raise love’s turban high

11. Do you remember Hind when she passed
In that attire and beauty

12. When she was adorned
From head to toe

13. And when she disappeared without saving
Our hearts from anguish

14. And when I called "wait a bit, O delight"
Stop, Hind, not so fast

15. But neither homeland nor family
Saved you from slaughter

16. Remember that, O disgrace
Do you remember what I wished?

17. Tell me now, what is the matter
That you show and guide naught

18. The beauties pass before you
In coyness and charm

19. With Hind, beauty's queen, between them
Yet you pay them no attention

20. As if you were occupied
Now I know what ails you

21. You are now in a trance
Far from awareness, far from words

22. I profess my love to you
Melting in ardour

23. But disgrace, have the nights of union and separation melted away?
Has the memory of Hind melted away?

24. Then let me melt away entirely
