1. O what a blessed eve it was
When we parted though brief

2. Nothing in seclusion like it
A day that delights the eye

3. Its breeze when it blew
Lessened the ardour of yearning

4. I spent in it a kindly time
Of hearing and seeing

5. The horizon was darkened
As if about to bellow and roar

6. The sun was veiling her face
Out of shyness or caution

7. How many a summer night
One short day made me forget

8. And blessed is coffee that
Takes not from us and leaves

9. No good in rest that contents the
Hearing but takes away the sight

10. Lost, by my life, is the one who rests
His days away in repose

11. Days where a youth finds not
A helper for reflection

12. O day you renewed in me
A wish, but who helps me attain it

13. My wound had healed
With the passing nights, so it forgave

14. Oh would that my love were a rose
Fair to behold in the eyes' light

15. Upon it her clear dew would smile
Gently towards the unfaithful one

16. Ruffled by rain as my poetry
Is ruffled by the bright dawn

17. Would that I were a dove
Cooing in the moon's glow

18. I'd weep when the winds and rain
Lash her with violent gusts

19. I'd cry and lament for her
Apart from all mankind

20. Until when the downpour ends
And the meadow dons its green

21. I'd sing her, prepared
Greetings amidst the trees!

22. Or would that I were a pearl of dew
Upon her at dawn's first light

23. I'd delight in her my night
With that camphor's sweet scent

24. Until when the morn reveals
The gloom and strips bare the veil

25. I'd ride the wind's back wishing
A sphere after the dust stirs
