1. If the beloved departs, my tears in the dwellings will flow
Tomorrow, the tears of my eyes will flow down

2. For God's sake a heart that spent the night infatuated
Its facade is a tear that spills down the hillside

3. Clouds spent the night with trailing gowns
And a longing that always breathes but does not rest

4. No sooner did the tears from my eyes spill
Than the first lightnings from Tihama flashed

5. My heart orphaned, in the darkness of Tihama like a gazelle
Clarifying what I hid from you clarifies

6. They give but the lovers do not obey
And get accustomed except that it does not allow

7. I die and live in the love of Hajar
Passion rejoices in infatuation and it jokes

8. Ugly is the deed that desire beautifies in his view
And beauty that patience from it makes ugly

9. He counts me as sinful while I am not guilty
What harm if he would pardon and forgive

10. Like the full moon rising in the night of sins
And like a branch in the shadow of the morning breeze sighing

11. So gazelle of the barren land, right of the sanctuary
I swore by the passion of my heart, and I am overjoyed

12. I yearn and she talks to herself
I cry from love and she clamors in the nest

13. My friend, did the dawn sleep from the dew
For I see the darkness does not budge

14. I think my morning lived long in war
And so it inclined toward peace with its wings

15. I was tested with obsessing love in the chest
And even if it's love for the limbs it wounds

16. Oh how often it becomes eve and morn preoccupied
Ask passion about me, how my eve and morn become

17. Either life in your love exalted
Or else, find in death, for death is more serene

18. He visited at night, the stars his necklaces
An apparition in the clothes of darkness brocaded

19. He visits and I conceal my torment from its watcher
For what can I do, the musk and the tears expose

20. The sun is none but his face when it reveals
And the face of Ali when it covers and praises
