1. The sky said gloomy and frowning
I said smile, frowning is enough in the sky

2. The morning breeze turned away so I told it smile
Sorrow will not bring back the fleeing morning breeze

3. She who was my sky in love
Became hell for my soul in passion

4. She betrayed my vows after I gave her
My heart so how can I bear to smile

5. I said smile and take joy for if you compared her
You'd spend your whole life suffering

6. Commerce said in tremendous conflict
Like a traveler, it almost killed him thirst

7. Or an injured she-camel needing
Blood and snorting blood whenever she pants

8. I said smile, you're not the one who caused her affliction
And cure so if you smile maybe

9. Another is the criminal and you spend the night in
Dread as if you had become the criminal

10. The enemies said their screams around me grew
Shall I be happy and the foes around me ablaze?

11. I said smile, they did not seek you with their blame
If you were not from them loftier and greater

12. The seasons said their signs appeared
And they flaunted themselves to me in clothes and finery

13. And I have an obligation to friends
But my hand cannot afford a single coin

14. I said smile, it's enough you have not yet
Become bereft of loved ones

15. The nights made me swallow bitterness
I said smile, and if you swallowed bitterness

16. Perhaps someone else, seeing you singing,
Would cast aside gloom and sing

17. Do you think frowning earns a coin
While smiling results in losing a profit?

18. O my friend, no harm if your lips
Mumble and your face crumples

19. So laugh for the stars laugh and the darkness
Is tumbling so we love the stars

20. Joy said it does not make happy one
Who comes to the world and leaves compelled

21. I said smile, as long as between you and demise
Lies a handspan for then you'll smile no more
