1. The tears speak though the tongue is mute
So look to the gestures, see how they die

2. My sorrow still appears every day
So I've hidden from the eyes of the doves

3. A youth seeking in the freshness of his soul
A body sculpted by the chisel of illness

4. I warn you, if you see the passion of youth
Your gaze is the flint to its fire

5. I used to give advice like Adam
But I remembered the love of girls and forgot

6. How can I escape from the dues of eyes
That cast the spells of their magic like Harut

7. And my torturer is one who enjoys torturing me
He hasn't experienced my afflictions to know how I spent the night

8. A cheek I yearn for as if it were
A homeland where I was born and raised

9. In the night of his absence I lost the path to love
And in the light of his cheating I was guided to him

10. A changer whose cheek wounded youth
My eyes saw him and poured over the rubies

11. And I'm the one who tasted the sweetness of his beauty
My eyes feasted on his glances though it pained me

12. The flirts said "You were happy with our company"
And I replied "but your abandonment made me miserable"

13. I was a lover out of respect for my youth
Until when old age crept in I was disgraced

14. Who can I seek help from for the excess of sorrow?
When it's my own crimes that accustomed me

15. I was a man who never faced misery
Until my youth was taken from me and I was wretched

16. The mirror shows me the ugliness of my crimes
Yet God knows how I was content with it

17. My worry is like the falling of an ember
A lifetime that if spent on me will destroy me

18. And when old age shows its camphor-like whiteness
It is ungrateful, as if it were an idol

19. And perhaps a raider, time carries him
On a steed pure of breed, if only I were carried

20. A night gifted by dawn a piece of silver
And four lively horses fed with fodder

21. An excellent runner who follows his name
With attributes, after them more attributes

22. I released him and I thought of every prey
That seeks with your glance to catch it, so miss it

23. His hooves gathered the hilltops scattered
As if to gather them he dispersed them

24. It was as if the rocks were frozen in place
Beneath me, so I hunted whatever I wished
