1. O people, he who seduced me
I wonder, why did he abandon me?

2. His glory has now overcome me
As did the one who loved to be disgraced

3. He seduced me with his beauty
And killed me with his coyness

4. He veiled his affection from me
And was distant and confused

5. Eyes did not see his condition
And all hearts were obsessed with him

6. In his love, I discarded my excuse
And left the matter to unravel

7. Let him abandon my excuse
And leave the matter to unravel

8. Let him abandon me or unite me
The beautiful one knows what he does

9. The one whose beauty has tempted me
Too great for my mind to contain

10. In his love, I unleashed my reins
And obsessed all my life with his love

11. Then I abandoned all that is fleeting
Until nothing comes to my mind

12. And was absent from my friends
Until I was unseen in any gathering

13. As for one who relies on an ignoramus
By God, he does not know his worth

14. My people, hear my words
And maybe you will heed my saying

15. Then overlook my blame
And do not be veiled by my shadow

16. The beautiful one has become my imam
And I pray behind him

17. However he makes me his imam
If fortune returns to bless me

18. And if betrayals befall me
I have nothing then that I can do
