1. Your restless eye tonight, long and anxious
Wanders, and the glance of despair startles me

2. I yearned for you and extended my neck
And returned like nomads, no clouds make them laugh

3. Their frown from the bitterness of travel burnt
I protect your heart from a memory that troubles it

4. I protect it from my longing for the one who created it
I protect your eye from a union that troubles it

5. If the cold extends in our souls it worries
Fate sculpted you away from me, though my patience robe - however much I fortified it - was ripped

6. In God’s care, O an apparition that laughed at me
So my life was lost in his laughters stolen

7. Rihana tasked me to fly for her
A soul to inhabit the horizon of love and its horizons

8. The nightingales' flocks come wandering in
My chest, and get drunk in their soft dreams

9. She disappears, settles in the bossom of her beloved
If a lover pulled her, who adored her, to love

10. I cry for the sweet youth on a branch, a Tamees, that
No leaf remains on it for the eye of the loved one

11. All that was...that death took us by surprise
And fate extinguished between us its paths

12. All that was...that estrangement woke up
And the night scattered on our eyelids its darkness

13. And old age overtook my poems so it disabled me
A text that tells me about a bygone image

14. In God’s care, O you whom I came searching for
My soul but found it in a thin cloud

15. She passed - may God rest her soul - to God and started
Poems of longing that evoke compassion

16. Oh winter, whenever forgetfulness warmed me
He surrendered his arms to forgetfulness and embraced it

17. In God’s care, O a soul I rose with
And the first name my heart uttered in love

18. In God's care, O a whole world that lives with me
And people think it a line on a paper
