1. Do not think me shameless if I speak of you,
That is a flea that cannot pierce my ribs.

2. To whom have I confided the secret of my eyes,
That their meanings took shape in the words of my tears.

3. My tears stand between me and you,
Especially when their flow is copious.

4. So neither when you are present am I filled with your faces,
Nor when you are absent am I troubled by your return.

5. Praise be to Allah for an eye that is veiled in tears
That did not see humiliation in reproach.

6. And when you shot from eyes vindictive arrows
I received them from tears with my armor.
