1. Listen to my call, O independent one
Calling out from the absence of laziness

2. A hostage of every abject concern
And a convulsion of every long misfortune

3. And safe from the injustice of enemies
And sleeping on the misdeeds of the wicked

4. You see me in sincere resolves
That recoiled into the gloom of frail adversity

5. But how much time has passed me by
With its calamities upon the path

6. Revealing my weakness and cunning
And my sharp contradictions in speech

7. And throwing, from the bow of intense darkness
Arrows that struck the noble literature

8. A father and sons, from an impregnable honor
They have avoided a lost hope

9. So it was as if it were an ardent eyelid
That shed blood upon a smooth cheek

10. And flaming adversity, a long malady
From which he sighed from a polished sword

11. Those are my signs, the banner of calamities
And those are my means, the path of floods

12. And those are my ranks of dangers
Doves moaning with cooing

13. Perhaps your satisfaction one day
Will settle in my courtyard after a little while

14. And will ring in your ears, O honorable one
For us in the stumbling of a submitting servant

15. To you I have presented the first fruits of meaning
Excuses of gentle acceptance

16. A bracelet in the darkness without stars
An abyss in the wasteland without a guide
