1. I thought solitude would console me, but it only increased my passion,
And I closed the door of union when it was open.

2. I was deprived of the union of love in seeking riches,
And what riches were there in his face that I gained?

3. He captivated me with rubies of rosy cheeks,
And the gleam of pearl teeth flashes through his lips.

4. A beloved who revives me with the speaking full moon,
And I become intoxicated with wine whose brightness intoxicates me at dawn.

5. The tears of the lover flow towards the beauty of his face,
And the dripping of the rock from the touch of his hands.

6. I envied him - may God destroy my envier!
Time was generous with him but became mean.

7. I praised my time through him then blamed it,
And this life continues to be satirized and praised.

8. He has a discourse in the soul I do not divulge
So remembering him delights my heart and wounds it.

9. He was present even when absent in penetrating thoughts,
For we are near though the dwellings are remote.

10. My flowing tears give life to the meadows after their death,
And the pouring rain flows from it on the ground.
