1. With foresight in betrayal, hasty in affection
Far from reproach, near to abandonment

2. He has an intercessor in the heart for every stumble
So he has no need for sins to have an excuse

3. The eyes flirt with me with union and affection
So hopes and despair dispute in the chest

4. With myself is an illness not cured for its sick one
Hidden from visitors, lasting for lifetimes

5. A love deep inside, above love, its disease is severe
And failed the healers, in secret and openly

6. I'm afflicted with a tyrant who bars wishes
On his head a crown of confusion and arrogance

7. Able over what he willed of me, empowered
Running my injustice, a commander over my command

8. I'm accustomed to passion until my soul wearied of affection
And longing grew until I was patient with patience

9. Like an obstinate she-camel or a Babylonian woman
Who settled in the darkness of the camp, not walking

10. And how many nights of play whose length
Was shortened by the palm-cup and the eye for wine

11. And if urges hasten me
To attain my needs and act according to my fate

12. Noble in sins, if he attains some pleasure
He leaves some above conversations and burden
