1. You are not the first whose home has declined
So why does your heart conceal its fire?

2. It's either receiving guests or doves, nothing else
A third option you choose

3. After today there is no expected meeting
Or the wings of night and day meet

4. This is your standing for farewell and these
Are the signs of who you love and that is their homes

5. So hold back your tears for it is the first betrayer
After separation even if its current is overflowing

6. The duration of tears is less than the duration of pining
If it is not from a wound that festers

7. If only the horses had not been created for how much blood
It shed that burdens others

8. No lover died after the departure of a traveler
Except by them lies their revenge

9. If only I could bare my sword in their market
Until their blood avenges its return

10. If only all camels were like Salih's she-camel
I would not mind being its herder the next morning

11. None kill us but them for they
Are either an accessible dove or its warning

12. Woe to the defeated from solace, his markets
Have allied and his supporters failed him

13. The chronic disease stirred his joints
And departing times banished its healers

14. He concealed his love until its insanity subsided
Yet the secrets roamed the tears of agony

15. Such as the full moon drawing near its light
From the onlooker’s eye yet its home keeps away

16. His figure depicts a doe, brace and vigor
Its glance, shimmer, and stature so fair

17. In me is a resentment by which I judge his love
And I see beauty warding off its shame

18. Of wonders that it tolerates with injustice
Euphrates water though its jars appeared
