1. She said to me that I acted like a raider,
Though you are the handsome prince who provides for us.

2. So I said to her words of an eloquent man,
That convey the long meaning concisely.

3. My infidel heart revealed itself and fell in love,
So he started walking purposely without hesitation.

4. He walks proudly among the army of his beauty,
A wanted man not taking sides.

5. I deliberately shot him with the arrows of my eyes,
Making him my prey within my defences.

6. And he who fights disbelievers right at their home
Deserves to be called and titled as the raider.

7. O you who killed my heart with the first glance,
Enough, do not be in a hurry to collect the spoils.

8. For you who took the reigns of his innermost heart,
Will not be able to carry its burdens, not even the artful embalmer.
