1. O friend of mine, let my tongue be still
Among the cattle

2. Wearing a shirt of different hue
Without Egypt

3. Drinking aleppo-berry juice
On the path of fate

4. Babbling in his madness
Where is the sword

5. Keen, stern-eyed blade
That cleaves bones

6. No struggle for the singing lover
Afternoon overcame him

7. He dragged my rope though delirious
Reason of the small bucket

8. And I had a heart that loved him
Though it was leaning

9. And to this day he avoided my Sufi ways
It came out sickly

10. Two fresh eyes preserved me
But without awareness
