1. O you who left me, even if
I could, I would not have left you

2. And one who is made of my love
I have parted from all but him

3. And my hopes hung on him
After I had hung them on you

4. God knows that I
Was passionate in love and devoted to it

5. And I was ignorant of what love would do
In separation, until I tasted it

6. And thought I was enduring
But now I have realized it

7. And I possessed my intimacy after you
But I have freed it

8. How the branches of his affection flourished
The affliction of longing preceded it

9. I continue to shed my tears
Until I have made them speak

10. I did not know, when he sang and was sculpted
Whether he made me suffer or split me

11. If my patience was lost
One day, this would be its time

12. For I have burnt the heart
And drowned the eyelids

13. And been troubled without any youthfulness
From the flowing tears I have shed

14. If not for hoping to meet you
After it, I would have kept it sleepless
