1. Doves are leaves in the protection of green leaves
They have eyelids that shed tears but do not shed blood

2. They affect to please the sorrowful when he weeps
Though they know not how the breast is consumed with pain

3. Burns have they, did Khansa wail with them
She would fully repay Sakhr's due against Sakhr

4. So I said to myself, here is the goal of sorrow
And its mine, though the goal of patience elude me

5. Our shade though death be given I'd accompany them
A dove, and were death given, would water my hair
