1. With the outpouring of tears, ignorance dragged along folly
Heeding the deterrent from blaming prohibitions

2. For the daughters of the eyelids are more truthful
About the innermost feelings of the heart than the daughters of the lips

3. O my friend, make haste to me as an heir
Of the inclinations of my passionate soul

4. Verily the vision of the four wells has grown stronger
After a period of abstinence from lustful desires

5. And if the home remains a source
Of agonizing sorrow, it remains as it is

6. And the gardens of youth have withered and become
The treacheries of frivolity, murky waters

7. Because I have drunk a cup of anguish
Next to the exuberance of the spring, from cups of pleasures
