عَفا مِن بَعدِ أَحوالِ
I recognized the deserted dwelling,
I knew the empty house
Worn away after years had passed.
After the events have passed

عَسوفِ الوَبلِ هَطّالِ
Every rumbling raincloud had effaced it,
Every affectionate one pardoned it
Fierce in its downpour, pouring abundantly.
The seasons of affliction poured down

It belonged to Salma, the delight of my eye,
For Salma, delight of my eye
And my cousin on both my father's and mother's sides.
And daughter of uncle and aunt

Today, for Salma, I put up
Today I spent on Salma
Stakes that consumed my wealth.
Risks that exhausted my money

As though the saliva from her mouth
As if the saliva in her mouth
Were powdered musk amid red wine.
Was pouring between white teeth
