1. O you of drugged consciousness, her worth is high
Protect your beauty, for it is precious

2. God refuses, though He is its Giver
To let one with money buy it from you

3. He whose palm is filled with gold
Will find your heart empty within his own

4. Do not aspire to prominence and riches
Passion lies not in status and wealth

5. And if you are deceived by a pleasing facade
Ugly is hidden beneath the beauty

6. You are a pigeon fooled by a cage
Made of iron, adorned with gold

7. O Hind, of what use was a man to you
When passion within him had withered away?

8. In you beauty and love are joined
To increase my torment and hopes

9. Laugh not at one whose feelings
Are shown in glances and words

10. Be gentle and let yourself be led in love
I have chosen to be led with gentleness

11. Show mercy and tenderness out of nobility
Few are like me in loving one like you

12. All else is forgotten in the memory
And apparition of you in my thoughts

13. Do not give what I would ransom my blood for
Except to redeem and lavish generously

14. If tomorrow you miss my noble love
Do not seek it in one who has withered away

15. Fire subsides after its intensity
And man moves from one state to another
