1. Tears are shed down my cheeks, poured out and drained
Sleep is denied to my eyelids, robbed away

2. O you who resemble Joseph in splendid beauty
Won't you lament for one in sorrow like Jacob?

3. Torment me as much as you wish, my heart can bear it
How sweet is love, yet in it there is torment

4. My patience for passion is a patience no man can endure
Except Allah's prophet Job amidst all people
