1. Have patience with the houri's mesmerizing eyes,
Relief will surely come to you from the valley.

2. This queen, so beware the sword of her wrath,
For you are in dire straits because of your love for her.

3. Stop complaining and seeking excuses,
For the queen turns away from excuses.

4. When it comes to authority, no pleas or arguing,
No defending, so say: "O crisis, come undone!"

5. And seek her mercies to be safe from her tyrannies,
You've nothing to lose by surrendering fully.

6. You spoke true, so hear me tell of a drugged one,
I loved when she appeared before me on the stairs.

7. White was her complexion, white were her clothes,
White altogether in a cheerful abode.

8. As if she were the full moon rising over the hill,
Dispelling the clouds and grief from my heart.

9. Between her fingers was a branch narrating arts
Of the dove, heralding relief.

10. When I glanced at her and smiled,
She said: "Do you steal my beauty and fragrance?"

11. I said: "I bade farewell to my heart when it left me,
No crookedness in the excuse."

12. She said: "With your tears, cleanse your gaze and do not
Look at me, for the perfidious are not like the sincere."
