1. You knew what their eyelids did to him
They brushed over, so their love filled his sorrows

2. His sighs grew over his regrets
And so does its smoke grow over burning embers

3. And the brother of love is like a book's guide
Its clarity is its guide and its title is its guide

4. The lightnings narrate his heart so their flashes
Are his passions and their flickers are its flutters

5. Love pledged it will remain a fellow of yearning
And it fulfilled that pledge, such is its pledge

6. O you who claim to be done with your loved ones
Where is your aloofness and where is its time?

7. Your homelands parted from them and longing carried you
The dates are jolly and the fires are blazing

8. And your love exposed you, so what can one do?
This love did it and so did its clarity

9. You concealed while healthy, before falling ill
So after that concealment was revealed

10. And your tear disobeyed when you thought of them
As much as you obeyed love, you disobeyed it

11. So when its beads dripped from your eyelids
As bracelets, coral and pearls

12. If the resentful envier knew my fortune through them
His grudges would turn into mercy

13. Between the lover and them from their estrangement
Is a long separation, far-reaching and lasting

14. They showed him the boredom of a neighbor, while yearning
And forgetting the distant, though neighbors they are

15. The phantom appeared to them in their form
So when it hurts me, their estrangement horrifies me

16. And they are the youth, its days are beloved
Though his devil transgresses in his confusion

17. Their beauty makes up for their boredom
And estrangement is a sin, hoping its forgiveness

18. If they knew their place, they would not have
Scorched my heart with their estrangement, and they are its inhabitants

19. In their ignorance, they glanced with prolonged aloofness
And boredom, glancing at my eyes, and they are its humanity
