Thou, that for loving censurest the votaries of love, Canst thou assain a heart diseased or heal-a cankered brain? If in thy time thou kind but one to love thee and be true, I rede thee cast the world away and with that one remain." So they lay together till the morning and love for the other waxed firmly fixed in the heart of each.
"My sister said, as saw she how I stood * In fight, when sun-rays lit my knightlihood 'Allah assain thee for a Brave of braves * To whom in vale bow lions howso wood! Quoth I, 'Go ask the champions of my case, * When feared the Lords of war my warrior mood!
Therewith he waxed wroth and cried out, "Ho, soldiers of Al-Islam and favourers of the True Faith, an you flee you are lost, but if ye stand fast, ye win!

How void my misery is of all relief Thou mayst e'en feel, so sore I call thee, sire, With voice all full of woe; Ay, and I tell thee that it irks me so That death for lesser torment I desire. Come, death, then; shear the sheaf Of this my life of grief And with thy stroke my madness eke assain; Go where I may, less dire will be my bane.
This day I'll pack up wealth, and send it on * To Shamikh, guarded by a champion-train; Fresh pods of musk I'll send him and brocades, * And silver white and gold of yellow vein: Yes, and a letter shall inform him eke * That I of kinship with that King am fain: And I this day will lend thee bestest aid, * That all thou covetest thy soul assain.

Verily, thou art perfect in beauty and good breeding and singing.

O blamer, cease thy blame, and seek thyself to fly * From love, which makes these eyne a rill of tears to rain. How oft I cry for absence and desire, Ah grief! * But all my crying naught of gain for me shall gain: Thy rigours dealt me sickness passing power to bear, * Thou art my only leach, assain me an thou deign!
