1. You have settled in my heart completely
There is no good in life without you

2. What is home to me without you?
I see only you, no one else

3. My red tears flow
When I remember your cheek

4. And my heart is aflame with worries
When I remember your stature

5. O you who ask about tears, listen!
I cannot hold back my tears

6. O my time, you have sought me out
As if I was your purpose

7. And what I had feared
Make the effort now with all your might

8. I hope no longer for your softness today
And I don’t fear your harshness

9. You have grasped the palm of my wishes
So ignite in my heart your flint

10. And the coin of your cheek has departed
How much I feared its loss

11. Abdul Rahim despite myself
My eyes will keep their promise to you

12. So I will make sleep my companion
At night, and tears my companion

13. You have made me childless, my grandfather
My son! O childless one like your grandfather!

14. I cry and he cries as if
We are doves weeping after you

15. Never did I endure separation
So how can I endure your loss?

16. And I never imagined
That I would complain of your coolness and your harshness

17. I yearn for you, for the sake of the beauty
That adorned your neck the finest necklaces

18. I yearn for you, for the sake of the wisdom
That was the best stringing of your necklaces

19. I yearn for you, for the sake of the mouth
That surpassed your strung necklaces

20. Why did I not forget your kiss after
I sensed death after you?

21. By God, I have lost my patience
After losing the taste of your lips

22. Alas for my heart if it does not
Fulfill its sadness and longing for you

23. The falling of my house out of grief
Did not fulfill the counting of your days

24. You were the crescent for a horizon
So the horizon rivaled your fortune

25. You were a branch of growth
So death made your flower wilt

26. You were a river of seas
If you had lived, you would have restored your glory

27. Alas for the pens of knowledge
O river, your course has been stopped!

28. Do not doubt that my tears
Will fulfill at night their promise to you

29. I have become in grief alone
When I was with you in beauty

30. So O healing of rebellion
And O solace of your rebellion

31. O clouds of rain, be generous
To the wilted flowers, send down your gift

32. And let your weeping for him
Be your call and your sobbing thunder

33. For you are a keeper of promises
So keep your promise to the beautiful one

34. O Merciful One he called you
So join in your mercy your servant
