1. My tears overflow from my eyelids
As the fires within me rage

2. My tears flow down my cheeks
My state is hopeless, I'm powerless

3. Powerless am I, oh friends, take me
I stay up all night checking the scales

4. Awake all night, sick with worry
My heart afraid of the cruelty of the night

5. No doubt I'm destroyed by your separation
I wanted to bid you farewell with my words

6. Leave it and my words of farewell
And tears are wounds, and my cheeks, my shelters

7. Oh sweet one, know I'll keep my promise to you
From here, the stone melts, even the resistant one

8. From here, the black raven grows white hair
Without you, I only wear black

9. The day of black separation
Time is a traitor to mankind

10. Time is a traitor, it won't last
Witness the ruins in homelands

11. Do you think after this, anyone remains
Witness the ruins in homelands

12. See and accept what I see
May God make the separation easy

13. I compared her to a gazelle before my eyes
Where is the gazelle's necklace and collar?

14. Where is the smooth neck and braids?
Where are the long black tresses?

15. Where are the rose-red cheeks?
But if I compared the eyes, they are springs

16. With cheeks like red apples
Four arches shaded them

17. Like a flooded river they drown in kohl
Like Satan, his crown on his head

18. Above them, gold clothes he wears
A brow like a crescent moon in shape

19. All who saw her, blessed the Merciful
All who saw said, "By God you are lost!"

20. With a tail like the smooth swimming fish
If she were in Al-Shafi'i or Malik's abode

21. The prayers, faith and religion forgotten
The prayers and obligations and Sunnah forgotten

22. Whoever abandoned you will never have good fortune
Oh sweet one, if only I could

23. Before traveling, see you clearly with my eyes
Before traveling, see the soft branch

24. Whose eyes are lined with kohl and languid
His face like the full moon, shining bright

25. On the fourteenth night of April
On the fourteenth, the full moon rose

26. Oh Abu Nuhoud, braided at his chest
Like two jasmines, their dreams are wine

27. The neck like a tender sprig, swaying
The neck like a tender gazelle, tall in stature

28. Above it, a perfect garment in attire
Her throat glistening if her scarf slipped

29. But you are named, so mention the Merciful!
Name Him and extend your hand to the houri

30. Of the special gazelles, pure
Wearing a smooth silk garment

31. Worthy of Sultan Abdulhamid the Second
Oh sweet one, take my dear soul and bid farewell

32. No doubt I'm destroyed by your separation
I forgot to describe her hornet waist and trails

33. The feathers of the swimming bird I adore
Its teeth like frost, translucent

34. Red skirts like the blood of a slaughtered sheep
And lips like Solomon's ring

35. Oh sweet one, fear God for this separation
My soul was shredded at the torment

36. Not even the ostrich lamented like me
Nor Jacob's sorrow for Joseph

37. Oh sweet one, fear God, you made my state worse
Oh sweet one, fear God, you worried me

38. If they removed the mountain, it would collapse on me
Be gentle with me, oh caring one

39. Be gentle, my tears run
There is sickness in my heart

40. I didn't expect comfort after your abandonment
From here, they'll wrap my body in a shroud

41. And I conclude my words with the chosen Prophet
Who will intercede for us from the heat and fire

42. On the day we stand before the Almighty
When all our deeds are weighed
