1. A flash of lightning from the distant Levant
Soaring from the buds of clouds

2. Finding no tears, it shone more brightly
Fearing to be called indifferent

3. Whenever it was reproached for being weak
It could only smile

4. My eyelids were enchanted by it and overflowed
For only the enamored are so enchanted

5. Say to the beloved who made my cheeks rain
Ever since the clouds of sorrow departed

6. Its gaze shared my sickness and my eyelids
So we shared the most intimate gaze

7. Sickness left its mark on it and my body
The sickness of the eye, the eye of sickness

8. I cannot be cured but by
Kissing what is behind the veil
