1. When she left me forlorn in Tinufa
The sand grouse lingers there, the ignorant man sings to it

2. Like one committing a grave deed that leads him astray
So I let go of the guide and my slipper slipped off

3. She left me in love for her like a lone tree
And one like me can have no equal

4. I seek connection through my questions, and my heart desires
Another connection not inhibited by nobility

5. I begged for mercy, mercifulness pulled me back
Passionate longing and raving madness wrestled me

6. I visited you, but I turned away, and one in love
Goes where the heart inclines, the legs walking it there
