1. With a gesture of observing eyes
And remoteness from following suspicions

2. And in the shade of palm trees, remnants of a nest
Adorned with flowers and branches

3. Its birds departed, so it became empty
Profoundly sad, continuously still

4. Its fabric almost grass and flowers
Whispering with what grief it could

5. Yearning for brooks and meadows
And the plains’ serenity and sorrows

6. He who entertained it has left
So it returned to longing and pining

7. As if when the nest emptied and grew still
And the melodious cooing in it died

8. A pond dried up, its water disappeared
And the songs of its playful waves died

9. As if the strings of a lute
Wrapped in them, the corpses of melodies

10. And instead of the twitter that once took over
Came what did not ask about the twitterer

11. When the day ends, it comes to it
The drowsy shadows of palm trees

12. And the rays of stars visit it here and there
And moonlight from time to time

13. Memories visit the heart of a passionate lover
Full of lament, disjointed

14. Breezes pass by it whispering
Spreading in it the scent of jasmine

15. And awakening within its sides, songs
The torment of the tuned ringing

16. And how much the breaths of the decaying corpse
Mixed with the tears of the submissive, calm

17. And a lonely she-beast takes shelter in it
When the birds go back to their nests

18. It resembles me in my current state
And my affair in love told tales

19. So my heart is still a companion of lament
Whenever hearts incline toward a companion

20. When dreams visit others' eyes
Sorrow visits my free eyes

21. The nest, if it coos, almost
Returns it a singing, sad lament

22. And a night that fell asleep gloomily
Stirred for it the hidden of sorrows

23. And I recall passing nights
So I was choked by gloom and darkness
