O brother in affection, do not reproach me if you see me
Oh brother of love, do not blame me if you see me
Having cast off my bridle after my prime has passed.
Shed my modesty after losing my time

For Iblis has come to me, seeking my ruin,
For Satan has come for my ruin
With graceful women like dolls, and beauties.
With talk like blood for my veins
