1. The palm leaves droop over the path
And with your shade hide what the despondent sees

2. She whose image I feared you would hide
From my sight, has moved to a far dwell

3. It's all the same to me, a desolate wasteland
Or the shade of a meadow with a fresh spring

4. Ask the breeze to stop wandering
My heart has no hope in its roaming

5. If it comes with the fragrance of flowers, but there is not
The scent of my beloved in it, let it change

6. The meadows always remind me of one I miss
And the shepherd's flute stirs up longing in me

7. In every corner I looked I saw traces
She left behind for my eyes

8. So if I become heedless of her flock's bleating
Complaining of thirst with abasement

9. She bid it farewell, but her farewell
Did not heal the burning in its chest

10. She cast the melody of her song to its hearing
So it fled with a flood of falling tears

11. If only when she bid it farewell, she felt some sorrow
And wiped some tears from an overwhelmed heart

12. The branches are jaundiced by autumn, its roses
Like a burning, abased lover

13. The calm night spread its depth
Over it, so it went on yearning for the bulbul's songs

14. It's as if the leaves are a mirror for it
Showing the yellowing of its cloudy skies to the despondent one

15. Shall I go while it shades me and my beloved
And take refuge alone while it does not shade me

16. Palm leaves, none but you have betrayed my love
And remained keeping it for one who does not console me

17. I complain to you of the sorrow of my heart though you
Do not return the complaint to one afflicted

18. My beloved and time both pass
And I remain lamenting her while you listen to me
