1. O eye, how long has estrangement endured
Do you see your tear like a melting pearl?

2. Does my anguish and grief make you grieve?
Surely my soul has parted from its companion

3. He who denied me, O sweet one, has pained me
After being with me, the guards remain no more

4. To me he was a pleasure, O gentle company
The unkind one was not everyday before me

5. My door was not locked, guarded
From their tyranny, my fat and flesh melted

6. He who denied my body and was absent from me
Because of your separation, people, my state is lost

7. Because of them, people, my soul is lost
And my wounds gushed with scattering sparks

8. Since the first year, O sweet, I've been thrown down
Ill, stricken by a family disease

9. Two diseases, O beloved, from your separation
An antidote for my heart is to see you

10. If, after this life, we part from you
Saturn and Mars will have risen over us

11. Saturn and Mars will have risen over the unfortunate heart
Your face, hoping to see you, will yearn

12. Without your cheek and chin for my throat and chest
Your face is like the full moon shining

13. And your locks like the high dark night
Your head crowned with gold

14. Arranged over the shining forehead in waves
Arranged over the shining forehead

15. O lofty one, O shepherd of the curly hair
If she were with the gazelles, I would say where is she

16. She would be lost without a smile and mole
She would be lost among the flowers and bushes

17. O owner of beauty, O perfect in meaning
You ride out hunting and have excess and adventure

18. And of the horses, five hundred thoroughbreds
And the five hundred with their equipment and gear

19. And two hundred loaded with gold treasures
By God, by God's safety, this is true

20. I say your price, O gentle stature
Is more than what this quarter's people have told me

21. In my view, your beauty weakened me
And the soul is not sold for wealth

22. The soul has no beauty but you, O sweet fair one
O messenger, take my letter and go

23. See if the beloved asks about me
If they ask after me, my loved ones

24. O my love, my head has turned gray over them
My body is worn out, who will carry my clothes

25. And death, because of their estrangement, is lawful to me
Their estrangement weakened my strength and cunning

26. O my passion, O owner of the hair and braid
I lament and your image long into the night

27. And morning comes with my tears flowing
I have no one to complain to and remain wandering in the wild

28. The tears of separation flowing on my cheeks
Crazed, lost, always sitting, standing

29. After you I have no loyal friend
I have no friend in these foreign lands

30. O owner of tales, gatherings and tracks
I vow to whoever comes in your image

31. I will give him my soul and all my wealth
