A love-stricken heart has refused the resolve to forget;
My father Azmah Sulwan, a heart afflicted with grief
Solace feeds its love with sustenance.
Extends his passionate love with outstretched hand

Steadfast when the heat of iron strikes it,
Ice when the heat of iron strikes it
Yet it is not steadfast against the heat of passion.
Yet he's no ice against passion's heat

So do not, you two, reproach people who, when in love, have
So blame not a people who, when in love's grip
A wren's resolve in lions' hearts.
Find stern resolve in lions' hearts
