1. Why do your eyes not sleep, O Hassân?
Whenever you close them, you break your oath.

2. I never thought the sun would shine at night,
Yet I found a sun shining in the darkness.

3. The excellence of women and of men, their clan’s pride,
The people of glory and of keeping promises.

4. You have sworn, and not falsely sworn,
O son of al-Furay‘ah, you bear no burdens.
