1. They blamed me, but when the place of my passion appeared,
They said: "You have come to love through its door."

2. My cheeks and my love glistened with yearning
For one with cheeks that glisten with the water of his youth.

3. Sweet of speech, as if his words
Drink honey when uttered from his smile.

4. By God, O Musa, and the delight is gone -
Prepare yourself and leave not the wounded to his wounds.

5. Harut cast his sorcery in your glance,
So my heart was stricken by you as by its torment.

6. You confirmed my despair of attaining you just as
Despair of declined nouns is confirmed by their syntax.
