1. The one who stabbed me between the ribs and made me bleed
That's an enemy to me, what a noble knight!

2. And whoever butts the rotten time, his heart is blind
How many prosperous ones has it left lying in the abyss!

3. O daughter, why does my heart get shot with love
My hands are arrows for the apathetic sleepy-heads

4. If my eyes show me what I am
I'm drowning in tears while my saliva has dried out

5. Who suffers thirst like me among the people!
While I'm guarding the sweetest springs

6. By God, if it weren't for the eyes of Salma
I wouldn't see all people, laughing or frowning

7. If the light was good to me, I'm not in the dark
And whoever argued with me about the rain, I'm not keeping it
