1. You broke your promise, oh Jihane
And my heart is aflame with yearning

2. I stood waiting without any
Hope to console me and avail

3. You broke your promise so my tears
Burn me with intense ardour

4. I did not know that one day
We would drift so far apart

5. Though you distance yourself, still
I cannot cease expressing longing

6. You left me in my solitude
After affectionate words of love

7. And made me a false promise
Of meeting that was never true

8. And I remained alone watching
For you, overflowing with fervour

9. Speaking of passion makes
The flames fiercer without distance

10. So I wept over our separation
With copious, burning tears

11. Of a charming, bewitching one
Whose cheeks show the hue of roses

12. A lethal one, in her eyes
Is magic overflowing like arrows

13. And in your state like the darkness
The breeze of the tracts calls plaintively

14. And with a gait that complains
The plains tell of your count

15. And a mouth that if I never drank
Its taste is like honey sweet

16. And well-formed eyebrows
That look like a sword in its sheath

17. And gentle, delicate charm
And wonderful composure and grace

18. And with a tenderness that almost
Ruined me, so I wandered distraught

19. I confessed to her my torment
In loving her when dejected

20. She hesitated in her doubt
And considered my fervour and ardour

21. And the flock of censurers around
Watching my overflowing love

22. But still I will remain
Waiting, despite the great distance
