1. Al-Mutayyam is pleased with his madness in love
Leave him to perish his life in his arts

2. Do not blame him, your blame will not benefit
Abandoning love is not part of his faith

3. By the one whose agate was mentioned
The lover swore by his love and oath

4. I have none but you, though I repent
Of the indifferent in love or its change

5. Whenever the doves coo with passion
I am forever moved by their plaints and sorrows

6. And when tears flow without weeping
And patience flows tears from the eyes
