1. O bearer of passion, turn towards Mariano's house
And ask the house about its dwellers, who were they

2. I turned towards it, so my heart was afflicted by it
Sorrows mounted me, so now I'm all woe

3. They left me lying in its corners
And they left me with fires in my guts

4. The heart of the loved ones have left
And I, the miserable one, remained confused

5. Love has cast its staff over us
And appointed it over us as a sultan

6. Oh heart, ask directly
Whether it can be consoled, can passion be calmed?

7. Why do I see the house desolate while inhabited
We felt lonely while still dwelt in today

8. Why do I pass by it while it's gloomy
As if its dwellers today are crows

9. I would have said it was empty though inhabited
Nor would I say ruin yet still prosperous

10. Who grieved over it grieved over the ruins
So it brought us to the ruins in sorrows

11. I called upon it while the tongue of the state
Spoke against us and time has many faces

12. I said: this house will never quench your thirst again
Since it has quenched you from the eyelids, sleep

13. By God, is there in you O house of loved ones
Any grief over them like griefs in the heart?

14. I implore you by God to stop a while
To cry remembering them alive and gone

15. I roam around you in laps for you were
The hoopoe and in you were gazelles

16. For us in you was an orchard that completed
People, so times were good through you

17. Woe to those whom you've replaced
For by God this is a total loss

18. Love has brought the two bosoms close
So no blame on me, the face of beauty is tempting

19. Tell the passionate sees no difference in beauty
Nor separate us in passion religions

20. God knows I have been obsessed with it
For ages and today in the heart still volcano

21. We have been connected by electric wire together
And passion has spread in both our hearts

22. If they take her away, my senses depict her
From the cure of passion forgetfulness is alien

23. Imagination is not real to satisfy me
No good in the meeting and the eye is sleepy

24. I see her with me always in my memory
So no specter of image chases the awake

25. Wherever I see her, even if the shrine took her
No separation nor in distance estrangement

26. My covenant with her still tight in its youth
And the passing days have not diminished it

27. My bond with her in love still connected
I with myself am evidence of what I said

28. If it were said to me, the agonized in dignity
Tell who you loved, confess immediately
