1. Had you not been unfaithful, O my sun and moon
Rather, O my life and hearing and sight

2. I would not have complained, nor would the dejected one say anything
Who will do me justice against the squint-eyed one with languishing eyes?

3. I rode the sea of passion recklessly
And the souls of lovers are souls that have been deprived

4. If only they were burnt with fire, they would not be pitied
From every soul that patience has quenched and extinguished

5. A gazelle that is endowed with beauty that has been divided
Between the sand dune, the branch, and the flower

6. Whoever hopes for his affection has scorned it and for her
He has armed himself with a glance that is not for him or her

7. With it she has seduced someone overtly, with it she has seduced one infatuated
His glances have resulted that he will not live for her

8. A love-struck one, even if he were as hard as stone
