1. What ails him, by Allah may He mend his plight,
And protect him from the tumult of anxieties.

2. When he knew I was burdened with love of him,
He donned his armor for battle.

3. With his narcissus complexion, rose lips,
And his mole, tied with a beauty mark.

4. He went forth ruining my ribs when he glanced at them.
If only he would heal my heart with a day of union.

5. I ransom him with my soul, though his glance pained me.
Oh, how I wish I knew if he would show tenderness toward my state!
