1. The tears have uncovered what was once concealed
And if you wish to know of his state, you will see

2. Love has taken him captive and keeps him hidden
So when his tears overflowed, it became apparent

3. Be not surprised if his tears flow
Rather, be amazed that separation caused this

4. Damascus's lightning flashed before his eyes
So his tear clouds sent down rain

5. When the flames of his burning anguish
Ignited a fire in his heart that blazed

6. His tears gathered in his eyelids
And if his fire melted them, they dripped as drops
