1. If it were not for the lightning flashing
In the horizon at dawn and dusk

2. My heart would not have increased in yearning and sorrow
Nor would my cheeks be wet with pouring tears

3. Alas for the winds of spring whenever it reminds me of the loved one
From it blows a breeze like ambergris diffusing fragrance

4. It occurred to me when it brought to us from it
The valley of the jealous lover, and its vegetation and rain

5. O people of my love, on a day of concealment, is not
My beautiful patience with your abandonment now unseemly

6. You brought ecstasy and captivated my heart, wounded
By your flirtation and coquetry

7. My heart bears witness with your keeping the covenant
I am not pleased with it for it is wounded

8. Who can lend me an apparition of you when
I close my eyes to aid me against melancholy and comfort me

9. You made me hope for union but I have
Nothing except your rejection and avoidance

10. These are the eyelids but where are the dear ones
And this is the body but where is the soul
