1. I have not attained my desire from you
Nor healed my sickness

2. O my temptation in my dwelling
And my ordeal in my departure

3. I went astray and love is bewilderment
To salvation, my way

4. So who but you is my ally
And who but you my guide

5. I love in you my torment
O you who migrated from me and faded

6. And my eyelids relish
Weeping on the pillow

7. O specter you are my book
Of purpose and my messenger

8. So describe to the darkness of my heart
My tears and my emaciation

9. And convey to it my complaints
Of its love and my emaciation

10. And what was perpetrated by my watcher
And what was perpetrated by my injurer

11. Describe the agony of my heart
To its sweet saliva

12. And what my ribs have perpetrated
For its intoxicating moment

13. He brought it up as a captive
Shackled and fettered

14. It raves between traces
Of purpose and hopes

15. It imprisoned the fire of its ardour
On a folded mattress

16. With affection barren and harmful
To defiance prolonged
