1. Visit Buthaina, for the beloved is visited
Indeed visiting those who love is easy

2. Undertaking this journey has clothed our matter
And our liberation was a tightly wrapped fate

3. In the evening I left while she was sad
Complaining to me with enduring passion

4. She said while I was leaving, I ransom you a night
I confide my complaint to you, for that is easy

5. A flirtatious beauty, her words
Are like pearls flowing in loose prose

6. Slender in stature, shy in her glances
Delicate in her steps, her nature well-mannered

7. Her beauty is no mere beauty, nor her charm
Mere allurement, nor her dignity mere reverence

8. Indeed my tongue is charged with her mention
My heart impassioned, my thoughts well-pictured

9. And if you reciprocated my love similarly
In that, O Buthaina, I would be deserving
