1. O gazelle hiding his youth with gazelle charm
Your alluring glances have beguiled me

2. Time passed and life was pure until
My heart tasted the flavor of love and dissolved for it

3. What is with my heart and love, if you did not weary it
For your leaning sides that allure

4. Your sickly glance increased my sickness
May God not cure its sickness and frailty

5. I was fooled by love until
Your deceitful glances tricked me

6. How can I hope for loyalty when you are slow to consent and quick to weary
I said when your indifference towards me was prolonged

7. I am content with it in any state
O breeze that blew from the caves, gently

8. Dragging its hems among the sanctuaries of the protectorate
It smelled sweetly of the fragrance of one living in the neighborhoods

9. And it reached to soothe the cold of the night
So it related the best of speech, sound

10. Supported by them, and conveyed the message
Repeat that speech to my hearing

11. And feel free to prolong if you see fit
In the morning you reopened a wound in the heart

12. I had hoped that after being apart it would heal
Good for you if you came to a hillside neighborhood

13. And neared its mound and sands
Stop at its landmarks and ask about a heart

14. Seduced by its flirtatious gazelles
Be gentle and explain to them the state of one in passion

15. Sickness changed his state and weakened him
No lightning flashed in the darkness of night

16. Except my pouring tears gushed forth
And I remembered the square of intimacy, by God

17. And the era of youth and time of leisure
When my shadow from youth was shady

18. And infatuation clothed me in its shadows
