1. Every day I have a complaint
With words of sadness

2. I aspire the heart but it increased
Nothing but regrets

3. Of the beautiful ones, he is charming
Exceedingly heedless

4. He planted passion and I reaped longing
As the procession of funerals passed

5. Averting from me without intimacy
Bestowing upon others without reciprocity

6. Elusive yet so near
Overflowing with glances

7. I desire him but how can I attain
With such weak attempts

8. The hunter is too feeble for the nimble gazelle
To pluck its ripe fruits

9. Oh what a heart oft swooning
For the beautiful one

10. O companions with unreliable eyes
They complain of love not like my burning embers

11. In a time of awakened sorrows
And abundant harm

12. I am apt to complain
So leave me be with my lament

13. And delight yourselves with the nearness
Of a gazelle or alluring beauty
