1. What affair is there that I would not speak of
After my affair has been exposed?

2. The tears of passion are its words
For you, and the mouths are its eyelids.

3. My tears and love, if they rule,
Are claims, and it is proof.

4. Its branches never ceased to move
Above the branch of the wet myrtle.

5. The cheeks of them both are for it
Pomegranates from the fruits of the breast.

6. How can I hope for them, when with them
Are the forbidden loves of the heart?

7. It has a sword like its glances,
A guardian of creation, a drawn long sword.

8. The disbelief of the disbelievers returns when
They see it while it is faith.

9. When there appears in its fingers
Fire from it and it is a deluge.

10. They collapse when you call upon it
When polytheism encounters the idols.

11. We know the gazelle’s eyelids,
And this sword has ears.

12. It is a mirror in which appears
The anguish of the heart of the opponent.

13. Rise up to fill their souls
And the lances of the script are spears.

14. The cheeks of the land look out
With blood while the horses are steeds.
