From the poetry of Qais bin Al-Malawh

We mention from the poetry of Qais bin Al-Mulawh:

And they said, if you want, you can ask about it

So I said to them, I do not want

And how her love stuck to my heart

Buckets were also hung on parchment

Her love arises in my heart

It has no end - even if it is rebuked

And a virgin cuts me to blame

And in rebuking the afflicted, I have a calamity
